Fulham have been hit with a tricky couple of results, drawing away to Middlesbrough before being comprehensively beaten by Hull at home, but some transfer news has emerged to distract them.

According to Turkish outlet TRT Sport, via Sport Witness, Galatasaray are in talks with the Whites over sending midfielder Jean Michel Seri back to Craven Cottage in January.

The Ivorian has struggled to establish himself in Turkey and due to caps on the permitted number of foreign players, they are keen to send him back.

But if he is to return to Fulham, what fould it mean for the current players?

Here, we look at ONE winner and ONE loser from his potential return...

Winner: Bobby Decordova-Reid

Since signing on loan from Cardiff City in the summer, Decordova-Reid has struggled to nail down a spot in the side and has frequently been deployed in the centre of midfield.

It is not an area he thrives in. Away to Reading he showed how good he can be in a wide area and that is surely where he will be looking to break into the side.

Bringing Serri back would therefore increase the chances of him playing in a more advanced role, rather than having to fill in in the middle of the park.

Loser: Harry Arter

He already probably has not been as much of a regular in Scott Parker's side as he might have expected, given his pedigree in the division and even higher, so Seri's return will not be a welcome sight for him.

When he has played, Arter's role has predominantly been to protect the back four, breaking up play with his energetic style and bravery in the tackle.

However, this is an art that Seri also specialises in, with the added bonus of a classy passing reputation. If he is to return to Craven Cottage therefore, it will most likely be Arter's role that he targets.
