READ MORE NEWS ON: Arsenal, Mark Hughes, Fulham, World Cup

Mark Schwarzer has submitted a transfer request at Fulham, it has been revealed.

The Sun says Schwarzer has stunned new Fulham boss Mark Hughes by slapping in a transfer request.

The Aussie keeper, 37, wants to force a move to Arsenal, who bid £2million before the World Cup.

But Hughes wants Schwarzer to stay and will play hardball.

Fulham goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer has verbally agreed terms with Arsenal, it has been revealed.

The London Evening Standard says Arsenal are considering making an improved offer for Schwarzer.

The Gunners had a £2million bid rejected prior to the World Cup but have made no further contact since.

Although Fulham insisted today that Schwarzer has not handed in a transfer request, the London Evening Standard understands the Australian has privately agreed personal terms with Arsenal and is desperate for one last season in the Champions League.

Fulham boss Mark Hughes still hopes to keep the 37-year-old, who is under contract until 2011, but an offer of around £3m could lead to a deal.
