Fulham Will Scout Brad Guzan This Weekend

Fulham's neverending quest for top American soccer players continues apace.

Chivas USA goalkeeper Brad Guzan, who attracted scouts from Arsenal last fall, will reportedly get a long look from Fulham on Saturday night when the U.S. Men's National Team takes on Sweden at the Home Depot Center in Carson, CA.

Guzan is expected to start in goal for Bob Bradley's side, which consists mostly of MLS players, as the Americans playing in Europe couldn't get away for the weekend. Other notable players on the roster include Jozy Altidore, Michael Parkhurst, Maurice Edu, Taylor Twellman and Landon Donovan, who will earn his 97th cap. The LA Galaxy forward may need this weekend, however, to keep his spot in the increasingly crowded first team.

Fulham, meanwhile, is looking for an upgrade over Antti Niemi in goal, and Guzan, who averaged 0.93 goals allowed per game at Chivas last year and kept a shaky backline together last month in South Africa, could fit the bill.

Last week, Fulham had shown interest in Kansas City Wizards striker Eddie Johnson, but that deal may be off after they extracted Marlon King from Watford today for £5 million.

The real mystery, though, is why Fulham isn't trying to upgrade its horrid midfield. The American they should be pursuing is Michael Bradley, who is currently playing for Dutch club Heerenveen, though not for much longer.
