Fulham in talks with Tete over new deal

Fulham are in talks to renew defender Kenny Tete's contract as it expires at the end of the season. The 29-year-old defender has yet to agree terms as he seeks improved pay on a two or three-year deal.

Sources from both sides are hopeful of reaching a positive outcome in negotiations.

However, there remains a possibility a major club could hijack talks with the Netherlands international, who is free to negotiate with other clubs with just two months left on his current deal.

Tete is known to be happy in London, enjoys playing in the Premier League and believes he can still play at the top level.

He also has a positive relationship with manager Marco Silva who has been linked with a move to replace Ange Postecoglou at Tottenham.

Tete started his first Premier League match in four months in the 2-1 defeat by Chelsea on Sunday after recovering from a knee injury.
