Fulham are interested in Wolves’ Ryan Bennett as they look to fix their defensive problems.

The Cottagers are considering a loan move for the defender, the PA news agency understands.

Scott Parker’s side have conceded 10 goals in their opening three games after Monday’s 3-0 defeat to Aston Villa.

Khan wrote on Twitter: “I apologise to Fulham supporters for our performance tonight. We’ve looked to add centre-backs since Wembley.

“I’m sorry we haven’t yet as two got COVID and we lost a free we thought was close.

“We had another issue with a fourth CB. I promise players in and better efforts from this squad.”

Fulham go to Molineux on Sunday and Bennett is on their radar but neither Wolves nor the centre-back are keen on the move ahead of next week’s transfer deadline.

Wolves signed Ki-Jana Hoever from Liverpool for around £9million this month, pushing Bennett further down the pecking order at Molineux, but they have shipped seven goals in their last two games, including Sunday’s 4-0 humbling at West Ham.

Bennett spent the second half of last season on loan at Leicester, making five appearances, but the Foxes opted not to trigger a £5million permanent deal.
