Manager Martin Jol has confirmed Fulham have agreed a fee with Roma for John Arne Riise.

Riise, 30, joined Roma from Liverpool in 2008, but he appears to be surplus to requirements under new coach Luis Enrique and is now travelling to West London for a medical.

Jol, speaking after Fulham's 0-0 Europa League draw with NSI Runavik on Thursday night, said: "He's coming for a medical. If that's [the medical] okay we've got ourselves a very good player."

Riise's brother, Bjorn Helge Riise, has been at Fulham since 2009, but spent time on loan with Sheffield United in the Championship last season.
