Reports in the UK suggest that Fulham have applied to the Premier League for special exemption to add Rafik Halliche to their squad.
The Algeria international was set to join recently-promoted Swansea but it was confirmed on Thursday that their loan deal has been vetoed by FIFA.
Halliche and Daniel Situ both agreed moves to south Wales club but had international clearance rejected by football's world governing body after minor delays in processing the transfers.
With the deadline day transfers falling through, the London club are now seeking to add Halliche to their Premier League squad.
Fulham only registered 23 out of the 25 players allowed and Press Association Sport understands they have contacted the Premier League to request the Algerian's addition.
However, The Cottager’s application will depend on whether Swansea successfully appeal FIFA's decision.
The Swans are awaiting written authentication from the governing body before deciding whether to appeal the decision, which came despite the Premier League, the Football Association of Wales, the Football Association, the French Football Federation and the Professional Footballers' Association all fighting their corner.
