Standard Liege have reached an agreement to sell goalkeeper Sinan Bolat to English Premier League outfit Fulham.
According to Belgian national broadcaster RTBF, Fulham will pay around a €1M for the talented shot-stopper, with the player still having to agree terms with the Craven Cottage club.
Bolat’s contract with Standard Liege was due to expire next summer, something which has led the Belgian giants to seek to realise a fee for him in January, rather than lose him for free just months afterwards.
The goalkeeper had been expected to be on the move last summer, but he suffered a cruciate knee ligament injury on 22nd April and was operated on, meaning the summer period was one of rehabilitation.

Bolat joined Standard Liege in 2009, moving from fellow Belgian club Genk, and quickly began to shine for the side.
At international level he represents Turkey, having been born in the country, and has won four senior caps.
