Jean Michel Seri looks set for a move to Galatasaray on a loan deal after just one season at Fulham.

Sky Sports News sources were told earlier on Wednesday the two clubs were in negotiations, and Galatasaray released a statement confirming their interest in the 27-year-old midfielder.

The statement read: "Official negotiations with the footballer and Fulham FC have started for the temporary transfer of professional footballer Jean Michael Seri to our club."

Napoli, Roma and AC Milan have also been linked with the Ivory Coast international, who signed for Fulham from Nice last summer following their promotion to the Premier League.

But Seri endured a difficult season, registering just three assists and one goal in 32 Premier League appearances.

Since their relegation to the Championship, Fulham have signed Martell Taylor-Crossdale following the expiry of his Chelsea contract and brought in Wolves winger Ivan Cavaleiro on a season-long loan.

Fulham are also in talks to sign Bristol City midfielder Callum O'Dowda, Sky Sports News understands, while Aleksandar Mitrovic signed a five-year contract extension earlier in July.
