Premier League Round Up: Everton, Fulham and Liverpool – 2 February 2011
Everton
Everton’s management has confirmed the signing of Greek star http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Apostolos-Vellios-c6408. The youngster has shown great talent with Greek side Iraklis Thessaloniki and Everton did not have to pay much to acquire his services. In his 14 appearances
for the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Greece-c2908 U-19 side, Apostolos has scored seven times. Vellios signed a contract with Everton, which would keep him at Goodison Park until 2014.
Everton are in dire need of a new striker owing to the lack of form of first choice striker http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Louis-Saha-c22459. Everton succumbed to a 2-1 loss to Arsenal last night and are very close to the relegation zone following the loss. Manager
David Moyes criticized the way Cesc Fabregas approached the referee after he allowed the first goal, despite the fact that Saha was offside.
Fulham
Preston North End have snapped up Fulham’s 26-year-old forward, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Eddie-Johnson-c11841, on loan for the remainder of the current season. Johnson’s opportunities have been limited in this season, having featured for the Cottagers just five
times in the Premier League. The striker joined the side from Kansas City in 2008, but he was loaned out to Cardiff City last season. Preston manager, Phil Brown was delighted to have signed the forward, stating that Johnson would be a good addition to their
band of strikers.
“He brings more pace and strength and alongside Iain Hume, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chris-c9006 Brown will soon overcome his injury," stated the Preston
manager.
Liverpool
Coventry City teenage sensation, Conor Thomas has switched his loyalties to Liverpool. The player has signed with the Reds in a surprise loan move, which will be converted into a permanent transfer, come the end of season. The
17-year-old is considered one of the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 and he has already played for the Three Lions at the U-17 level.
His debut for Coventry came against the side’s 3-2 loss to Birmingham City in the FA Cup, just few weeks after his first, first team appearance for Coventry in the previous FA Cup round. The player is expected to play with the
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 reserves and work with the academy to improve his development.
