Kewell, 32, along with his Australian Galatasaray teammate Lucas Neill were linked with the Londoners by The Daily Mail this week.

The speculation comes after Galatasaray sporting director Bulent Tulun confirmed the Socceroos pair would not be offered new contracts by the club as they begin a new era under new boss Fatih Terim.

Both players are now available as free agents this European summer.

However, according to the Fulham & Hammersmith Chronicle, Kewell has told close friends he wants to play his football abroad rather than in England.

Kewell, who is married to English soap star Sheree Murphy, spent over a decade playing in the Premier League with Leeds United and Liverpool before moving to Turkey.
