Fullham interested in Newcastle United Goalkeeper

Marcus Bettinelli has been a bright spark for Fullham this season and is heavily rumored to be leaving Craven Cottage at the end of the season. Kit Symons has stated that he will offer the 22-year old a new contract but with Chelsea stepping up their interest in Bettinelli, Fullham are almost having to look for an alternative option.

With Rob Elliot set to become third choice goalkeeper at Newcastle Untied, when Karl Darlow returns from his loan spell at Nottingham Forest then Elliot's lack of game time is only going to be shortened even more. Elliot will surely be set to look for a new club as he has only made 28 first team appearences in his 4-year tenure with "The Magpies".

Fullham have confirmed to be interested Elliot and I feel that if Elliot really wants first team football then this is probably his best option. He isn't getting any younger and with Elliot only playing 176 professional matches in his 11-year career then surely he would daft to turn down this opportunity.

Rob Elliot has shown signs of being a good goalkeeper and maybe a move to Fullham could get his career back on track as well as hopefully guding Fullham to a much stronger season than they've had this time around.
