He told Fulham's
official website: "I like the Premier League and it has always been one of my wishes to come here.

Happy
"I'm very happy to be part of what is happening at Fulham. The Club is doing very well and that was why I decided to come here.
"I know the Manager well and I know that he is always looking to strengthen his attacking options and I hope that we can do even better next season."
