Fulham set to sign experienced defender
Fulham are close to agreeing a deal to bring Juventus defender Zdenek Grygera to Craven Cottage. Grygera has been told he is allowed to leave Juve as he does not feature in any of Antonio Conte’s plans. This alerted new Fulham boss Martin Jol who has wasted no time in signing the versatile player who can play in any defensive position.
The Czech international has travelled to London to undergo a medical this weekend and he has revealed that he is exciting about his move to Fulham,
“Hopefully it will come out well. I take Fulham as a big call and will experience another top league,” The former Ajax man said. “The Premier League is probably the most followed competition at the moment and I am tempted by the prospect of being a part of it.
“This spell can teach me a lot as a footballer as well as a human being.
“I will come to know a different mentality and learn another language. The same goes for all my family.
“It is not easy for me to be leaving Juventus. Juventus is Juventus and, moreover, I have come to love Italy.
“But the situation there has developed in recent weeks that I would hardly make it into the nomination of 18 or 20 players.
“I have decided to leave and Fulham are an excellent option.”
