Van der Sar future in doubt

Edwin van der Sar’s Fulham future became even more uncertain today after manager Chris Coleman revealed he is close to signing Portuguese goalkeeper Ricardo Baptista.

Although Coleman continues to insist that Van der Sar wants to stay, his move for 18-year-old Baptista indicates that he is keen to strengthen his goalkeeping department in January – possibly in anticipation of Van der Sar’s departure.
