Fulham are weighing up a move for Manchester City attacking midfielder James McAtee. The 22-year-old has so far played just one minute against Ipswich Town, one minute against Nottingham Forest and a whopping 20 minutes against Leicester City this season and wants more regular minutes.

McAtee has endured a frustrating time watching on from the sidelines amidst City's torrid run of form towards the end of last year and doesn't look likely of forcing his way into more minutes with Pep Guardiola's side recording back-to-back wins for the first time since October by beating West Ham on Saturday.

Fulham are now considering testing City's resolve as Marco Silva looks to integrate another out-of-favour Premier League talent into his team. The Craven Cottage club have so far rebuffed bids of £16m from Palmeiras for Andreas Pereira but realise the Brazilians may yet return and if a deal is struck would want to bring in another star.

McAtee had a late cameo from the bench against West Ham on Saturday but is keen for more starting opportunities that Fulham would likely be able to offer. He has 18 months left on his current deal - and with City yet to engage in new contract negotiations - his situation has alerted a number of interested clubs.
