Fulham duo set for new deals

Coleman claimed last week he was "99%" certain to sign a new deal, but also maintained suitable terms for Kean must be also be on the table.
"The lads have taken to him and we are very much a partnership - it is both of us or neither," said Coleman ahead of the Arsenal match last Sunday.

Talks have continued, and a Fulham spokesman confirmed to the Press Association today that the club expected to be able to make an announcement by the end of the week.

Chairman Mohammed Al Fayed is well aware of the part played by his management team in Fulham's relative success this season.

Speaking in the match programme for the Arsenal game, the Harrod's supremo said: "I made the decision to appoint Chris as the leader against the odds and with an avalanche of criticism. In return, Chris has never let me down, proving my aspiration and trust.

"Steve and Chris have done an impeccable job in sometimes testing circumstances and our success this season is a testament to their tireless work."

Fayed claimed the club would not rest on their laurels as they look forward to their return to Craven Cottage next season.
"The summer months will undoubtedly see the usual flurry of transfer activity and I have already been in discussions with Chris and our chief executive, Jim Hone, regarding investment in the squad during the close season," added Fayed, who reluctantly sold striker Louis Saha to Manchester United for £12.82million in January.
"Now it is vital that we build on the great work undertaken this season to ensure continued progress."
