Fulham have launched a second bid of £2.2m for Standard Liege midfielder Ibrahima Cisse, Sky sources understand.

Sky sources reported earlier this month that Fulham were keen to sign the 22-year-old, who has represented Belgium at U21 level.

Fulham saw an initial bid of around £2m rejected last week but have returned with a new offer. However, it is understood the club could look at other targets if this latest bid is also knocked back.

The Cottagers want to sign a combative midfielder in January and, despite playing only 13 times for Liege since a summer move from KV Mechelen, Cisse has performed statistically well.

Cisse has also impressed in the Europa League despite Liege failing to qualify from Group G.
