Fulham are closing in on a loan deal for Porto left-back Rafa Soares, according to Sky Sources.
The 22-year-old is understood to be having a medical with the club after a season-long deal was agreed between the clubs.
Soares spent last year on loan at Rio Ave and has nine caps for Portugal U21s.
Fulham had been hoping to tie up a deal to sign Cardiff's Joe Bennett, but he tweeted on Friday morning stating that he was not leaving the club.
He said: "Just wanted to let the Cardiff fans know the rumours that I'm leaving are false. As are other rumours. I'm happy at the club.
"I'm working hard to get back fit for the games coming up after this weekend. Good luck to the boys at wolves tomorrow."
