Roy Hodgson says he isn't aware of any complications with Marlon King's £5million move to Fulham.

The Cottagers boss says the situation is "ongoing" despite reports on Saturday of a failed medical for the Watford striker.

After Saturday's 3-0 home defeat by Arsenal, Hodgson said: "It is an ongoing situation and everyone is still talking about it - the clubs and the agents, the player.

"We just hope that the matter will be resolved in the coming days and we hope it will be."

Hodgson, who is also in negotiations with Korean forward Cho Jae Jin, insisted: "I am not aware of anything other than it being an ongoing situation and the clubs discussing the matter."

Watford manager Adrian Boothroyd echoed Hodgson's comment.

After the Hornets' 1-1 draw with Charlton, he said: "I don't want to sound like a politician but the situation with Marlon is ongoing.

"The player wanted to go and the deal was agreed and as far as I know it is still going to go through but we are in a grey area at the moment.

"The one person who wants it resolved more than anyone else is Marlon King. He's been a great servant for us but I hope for everyone's sake that it goes through.

"Both clubs had a game today but we will pick it up in the next few days. It was my decision to sell him and part of winning at Watford is good governance.

"We are not Manchester United and if the right money comes in then you have to make a decision."
