Fulham manager Mark Hughes is targeting three of his former players as he plans a reshuffle at his new club, according to The Daily Mirror.
Hughes has reportedly set his sights on Manchester City stars Roque Santa Cruz, whom he signed for £18 million last summer, out-of-favour midfielder Stephen Ireland and Craig Bellamy, whom he has signed on two previous occasions.
Goal.com UK revealed on Thursday that Hughes is targeting Bellamy as his first signing at Fulham to help boost his attacking options.
The futures of the Manchester City trio seem uncertain as boss Roberto Mancini has the task of cutting his squad down to 25 players by the end of the summer transfer window, which means the omitted players are unlikely to be staying at Eastlands.
Mancini revealed earlier this week that Ireland, who has also been linked with a move to Aston Villa, possibly as part of the deal that could take James Milner to City, will be given every chance to prove his worth before a decision is made on his future.
Meanwhile, Santa Cruz has reportedly been attracting interest from Stoke City and Marseille, who are both said to be willing to pay around £8 million for the Paraguayan.
