Fulham and Dutch giants PSV Eindhoven are ready to end Junichi Inamoto's Highbury hell with a summer move.

The Japanese star has been a massive success in the World Cup, but his disappointing year with Arsenal means he is still certain to be on his way out once the finals are over.

Fulham have been linked with a £3million deal for the 22-year-old midfielder, who is available from J-League side Gamba Osaka on a 12-month loan with a permanent deal at the end of it.

But PSV are confident of snapping him up as a spokesman said "We want to talk business with Arsenal as soon as we can.

"But it might not be until the World Cup is over."

Inamoto though is still hankering to stay in the Premiership as that could boost Fulham's hopes as he said: "I thought I had the qualities to make it in England.

"It is very physical but I can cope. I think I can still do well there and if another English club came in for me it would be great, but I'd prefer to stay in London."
