The Green International has joined the Cottagers and claims that he is looking forward to working under Martin Jol at the helm.
After a good campaign skippering the National side in the European Championships, the demand for the veteran midfielder’s signature grew extensively, but the player eventually opted to sign for the Cottagers on a free transfer.
Fulham have been reeling since the departure of Clint Dempsey and Moussa Dembele this summer, with the club failing to land a quality replacement for the Belgian star.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dimitar-Berbatov-c11254 may have arrived from United, but the striker is limited to the front-line and thus Giorgos Karagounis’ signing made a lot of sense, especially on the financial side of things.
A complete freebie, the play-maker arrives with experience at the highest level for almost ten years and has had stints with some of the most illustrious sides in Europe.
Following a two-year spell at http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984 with Benfica before a return to his native country beckoned.
However now he is eager to make his mark in the English Premier League and reiterated that he was looking forward to working with Martin Jol in London.
“I’m delighted to have signed for Fulham Football Club and I am excited by a new challenge in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 and the Premier League. I’m looking forward to working under Martin Jol and playing alongside some fantastic players at this club.”
Jol also piled praise on his latest acquisition, citing his top flight familiarity as one of the key factors in the transfer process.
“Giorgos Karagounis has a wealth of club and international experience and I’m happy that he’s joined us for this season. He’s been an influential player for his club sides and is a renowned player in world football as he’s about to become the most-capped
player for Greece. He brings many certain qualities to our squad,” said the Dutch tactician.
While he still his country’s captain, Karagounis was overlooked for the World Cup qualifiers as he was without a club. But having remedied that problem with a contract at Fulham, he looks set to be called back and start in usual place in the middle of the
park.
As far as talent goes, the age factor has dimmed his energy but the crafty passing still remains and thus he could prove to be a huge hit in the Premier League.
