Coleman: John didn't tell me

Chris Coleman admits Collins John has not told him that he wants to leave Fulham.

Chris Coleman admits Collins John has not told him that he wants to leave Fulham.

The Dutch striker is set to quit Craven Cottage in the coming days after Fulham accepted an offer from another Premiership club.

Watford are understood to be the team chasing John, who has scored just once in 17 Premiership appearances this season.

Coleman confirmed the bid for the forward is satisfactory, but revealed there have been crossed wires regarding his desire to leave.

"We had an offer for Collins John today, one which was a good offer," Coleman told Sky Sports News.

"Collins stressed to his agent that he wanted to leave the club. Collins told his agent that he told me he wanted to leave the club.

"In actual fact, he hadn't. It's disappointing from my point of view, but sometimes it all gets lost in translation.

"The fee that has been offered from another Premiership club is a good one, which we will accept, so it will be down to Collins John.

"I won't say whether it's Watford or not because it's not been agreed, but it is another Premiership club."
