Fulham and Newcastle United are expressing an interest in Charlton midfielder Zheng Zhi. No offer has been made yet, but it is thought that the club would expect £4m. Although he tired a little towards the end of the season, he brought real vitality to a lacklustre midfield and his departure would be a real loss.
Normally reliable sources are reporting that Todorov is to sign a one year contract and not a pay-per-play deal as was rumoured at one point. I think that his loss through injury was a real blow to our season as he had a real ability to hold up the ball. If he is retained, it does cast doubt on the Stuart Fleetwood story.

Being 'at large' on the Pacific Rim, I have been actively touting a 'Beckhamesque' type marketing strategy for Zheng merchandise -but 'deaf ears' and 'stony ground' well describe any response from the club.
With the following in chinese communities in North America - and oh yes, about 1.4 Billion people in China, it would be a licence to print money.
If a Premier League club with any marketing nous does get him, just watch what happens.
