Jeremie Aliadiere says he is battling for a new contract at the Riverside ... but Fulham are looking at the former Arsenal man to see if he can rid himself of the injury-prone tag.

The French striker admits he faces an uncertain future on Teesside. Fulham and Everton have been linked with the ex-Arsenal forward.

Jeremie Aliadiere: "It's frustrating when a new manager comes in as you want to prove you should play.

"He must have been impressed in training because he started me. It's a very important time, I need to play well and get myself a new contract, which runs out at the end of the season."
