The manager expected the deal to be done during Fulham's tour of Korea, but now fears Johnson could end up at a Premier League rival if continue to hold up the £10.5million transfer.

Worrying delay: Andy Johnson's proposed move to Fulham has been held up by Everton, much to the frustration of Roy Hodgson.

It seems Everton manager David Moyes does not want to let him leave until he has a replacement but Hodgson will attempt to push the deal through next week. Fulham are adamant they will not increase their offer.

West Ham are weighing up a move for Johnson as their own striker, Craig Bellamy, is wanted by Manchester City.

Sunderland boss Roy Keane is also interested as Kenwyne Jones has a knee injury.
