Berbatov’s agent last month revealed how the Bulgarian striker was looking for an escape route in the new year.
But new head coach Rene Meulensteen expects a fully-focused Berbatov until January, even if he wants out of Craven Cottage.

Meulensteen said: “I will not stand in anyone’s way if they wanted to leave. But I had a good chat when I took over and he has been as good as gold, looking at the performances he has put in against Tottenham and Aston Villa. Everyone has their own demeanour and personalities – you respect it and accept it. He showed he wants to do everything to help Fulham get the results.”
