Fulham refuse to deny Finnan move

FULHAM last night declined the opportunity to deny fresh reports of Liverpool’s interest in their highly-rated right-back Steve Finnan.

Cottagers’ chief executive Bruce Langham refused to discuss new claims that the club rejected a £4 million offer for the Republic of Ireland international last week.

Langham is angry about the FA ignoring the advice of their video advisory panel and upholding a ban on goalkeeper Maik Taylor for Saturday’s home clash with Southampton.
