Fulham have been linked with Burkina Faso star Jonathan Pitroipa, who was named as the Player of the Tournament at AFCON 2013.

Pitroipa played a pivotal role in Burkina Faso's march to the final of the African Cup of Nations, where they were beaten by Nigeria.

The 26-year-old midfielder was named as the Player of the Tournament and has subsequently been linked with a switch to the Premier League.

Pitroipa currently plays for French side Rennes but could be tempted to move on in the summer.

Reports in Africa suggest Everton are leading the race for his signature but Fulham boss Martin Jol is also thought to be keen and could try and sign Pitroipa at the end of the current campaign.
