Kis had mixed fortunes at the Asian Cup for Australia but has been on fire for the Foxes in his domestic campaign.

He topped an already strong season with a goal in Leicester's rare 2-0 win against Barnsley at the weekend.

Now Fulham are tipped to be coming in with a $5million bid for Kisnorbo to join fellow Aussie Adrian Leijer at Craven Cottage.

They are said to have made a $3.25million for Kis in the summer but it was turned dow by Leicester. Now, according to the UK's Daily Mirror and Daily Express, they are prepared to top the offer to get their man.

But they face stiff competition from Birmingham City who also see a role for Kisnorno in their line-up.

Manager Steve Bruce has been assured of his job security and given cash to spend by owner Carson Yeung and has Kisnorbo top of his shopping list.

Leicester have been leaking managers - their latest Gary Megson left last week to join Bolton after just six months in the job - and are currently in 15th place in the Championship.

Birmingham and Fulham are neck and neck in the Premiership, just outside the relegation zone in 13 and 14th places respectively but both have struggled to find form so far.
