Fulham’s signing of Danish international William Kvist on loan from Stuttgart has ended their interest in Town’s on-loan Manchester United midfielder Ryan Tunnicliffe, we understand.
Earlier today it was reported that Cottagers boss René Meulensteen was set to make a joint bid for Tunnicliffe and his Red Devils team-mate Larnell Cole, players he previously worked with during his spell as Sir Alex Ferguson’s assistant at Old Trafford.
But, although Fulham have kept a close eye on Tunnicliffe during his loan spell with the Blues, we understand they have not firmed up their interest and the addition of Kvist, a central midfielder of a similar style, means a move for the 21-year-old is now unlikely.
Tunnicliffe has been a regular in the Town side since joining on loan in August, making 24 starts and five sub appearances. He extended his spell until the end of the season earlier this month.
The January transfer window closes at 11pm on Friday evening.
