Fulham have reportedly made contact with Brighton & Hove Albion over a possible deal for winger Anthony Knockaert.
The 27-year-old has been with the Seagulls for three-and-a-half years, during which time he has helped the club get promoted to the Premier League and scored 27 goals across 139 appearances.
According to The Sun, Fulham have identified the Frenchman as a key target this summer as they look to get promoted back to the top flight at the first time of asking.
The newspaper says that the Cottagers are prepared to meet Brighton's £15m valuation and will also offer Knockaert "a hefty increase" on his current wages of £40,000 a week.
Scott Parker's side are in need of a new face out wide this summer following the departures of Ryan Babel and Andre Schurrle, as well as the impending exit of youngster Ryan Sessegnon.
Knockaert, who has three years remaining on his current Brighton deal, also earned promotion from the Championship with Leicester City in the 2013-14 season.
