Jimmy Bullard's future at Fulham continues to be under the spotlight after he netted his second goal in three games against Middlesbrough on Saturday.

The midfielder has attracted the eye of a number of the Cottagers' Premier League rivals after impressing at Fulham since his move from Wigan in 2006.

Blackburn, Everton, Portsmouth and Tottenham are all reportedly interested in the services of the 30-year-old as his future at Fulham remains uncertain.

Fulham boss Roy Hodgson insists he would like to see Bullard remain at the club but is quick to concede that the midfielder may leave in the January transfer window.

Uncertain

"This is not like a Michael Owen situation," insists Hodgson. "Jimmy has 18 months to go, the same as myself and 75 per cent of the squad.

"I am first to recognise what Jimmy has done but it's wrong to make this a one-man club.

"The situation is I want him here for the rest of the season but I can never say that no one is going to leave."
