Fulham on cusp of Sava signing

Click here for our exclusive revelation that Sava was Fulham manager Jean Tigana's (pictured) mystery target.

A representative of the player's agent Juan Carlos Zamora has confirmed to planetfootball that talks are at an advanced stage, and only final details remain before the Argentinian completes his move to The Premiership.

"Sava has all but signed," said the source. "Final talks were going ahead today [Wednesday]."

Target man Sava is a well respected player in the Argentine league and his aerial ability is complimented by quick feet and an eye for goal.

Although Gimnasia were hopeful of receiving around $4 million for their star man - it is understood that the final fee is somewhat less.

The former Boca Juniors man has attracted interest from the Italian league, but it now seems certain that England will be his final destination.

Fulham had a mixed first season in The Premiership, and it is a lack of goals that has been blamed for many of the on-field difficulties.

Sava fits the bill for a target man, and will be hopeful that he can show his undisputed ability in the English top-flight.
