Fulham are in advanced talks with Sevilla over a loan deal for goalkeeper Sergio Rico, according to Sky sources.
The 24-year-old is highly rated but lost his position as first choice at Sevilla last season.
He was reportedly interesting several Premier League clubs, including Chelsea - before the Blues completed a deal for Kepa Arrizabalaga.
But he is now set to join a different west London club and is poised to battle with Fabri, who Fulham signed from Besiktas, and incumbent Marcus Bettinelli, for the No 1 jersey.
Rico was in London on Thursday to try and put the finishing touches to his move to Craven Cottage before the 5pm deadline.
