Mark Schwarzer in Fulham number one demand
MARK SCHWARZER has rejected claims that Fulham have offered him a new deal and vowed to quit Craven Cottage if he is not their No1 keeper.
The Australian veteran is out of contract next month and manager Martin Jol revealed an offer is on the table.
Schwarzer, 40, insists that is untrue, saying: “I am out of contract and as of yet I have had no official offer of a new deal, contrary to reports.
“I still want to play in the Premier League and still believe I have the ability to do it.
“But the bottom line is I have to find a club that believe in my ability as a goalkeeper. I still have the hunger to play at the highest level and I want to go to another World Cup.
“If that means I need to go elsewhere then I will move elsewhere.”
Jol has also confirmed that loanee Emmanuel Frimpong will return to Arsenal after revealing that the Gunners’ £6 million price tag for the midfielder is ‘too expensive’.
Fulham last night signed Ghanaian midfielder Derek Boateng on a free transfer from Ukrainian club Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk.
