FULHAM boss Jean Tigana is trying to pull off a sensational pounds 6million swoop for Monaco's Norwegian star John Riise.

Tigana flew to his old patch in Monaco for talks with the midfielder about joining the Cottagers.

Riise, once close to joining Leeds, is keen to come to England and could say 'yes' to Fulham after talks with his old gaffer.

Tigana took Riise to Monaco and knows he is the type of powerful player he will want at the top level.
