Aston Villa and Sunderland chasing Fulham’s Pogrebnyak

Fulham may face competition for their new Russian striker Pavel Pogrebnyak from Premier League outfits Sunderland and Aston Villa.

According to a report on Goal.com, the Russia international forward, whose short-term contact with the Cottagers expires in the summer, may be tempted by another club once he is a free agent.

The former Stuttgart ace netted five goals in his first three games for the London club, but failed to get on the score sheet in the last two.
