Dimitar Berbatov  is looking to leave Fulham in the January transfer window, and could emerge as a shock target for Arsenal, Liverpool or Chelsea.

Former Manchester United striker Berbatov has scored just once in the Premier League for Fulham this season, a barren run that contributed to Martin Jol's sacking.

And the 32-year-old has had enough at Craven Cottage, with his agent revealing he is unhappy at the West London club and hoping to leave in January.

"I don't usually speculate as nobody knows what will happen in January but what I can tell you is he (Berbatov) is not happy at Fulham," Emil Dantchev said.

"He would like, if possible, to find another option.

"I cannot comment (on whether there has been any approach) but the priority is to find a solution to stay in England."

Berbatov's inclination to stay in the Premier League could spark interest from a number of top clubs.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger tracked the Bulgarian when he was at Bayer Leverkusen and could be tempted to return for his services to provide back-up to Olivier Giroud.

Berbatov's contract expires in the summer and Fulham may be prepared to cash in on a player looking for a way out as they head into a relegation battle under new boss Rene Muelensteen.

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers is on the lookout for more firepower, with Burnley hitman Danny Ings the latest target mooted at Anfield.

However, Rodgers may see Berbatov as a good cover option for Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge in the second half of the season.
