Fulham boss hopeful over Sidwell contract

By Lyall Thomas 21/01/2014

Fulham boss Rene Meulensteen says he is hopeful the club will agree a new contract with midfielder Steve Sidwell.

In October the 31-year old was offered a one-year extension to his current deal, which expires at the end of the season.

But the former Chelsea and Aston Villa man rejected those terms because he wanted a two-year deal.

“I know that they’re still in talks, and it’s clear that Steve would love to stay here,” Meulensteen said.

“He’s doing very well here so I hope we come to a suitable solution.”
