Fulham have finally agreed a transfer for Dutch international goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg. The player moves to the Cottagers from Italian side Roma, signing a 4 year contract.
"I am very happy to be joining Fulham, and to have everything sorted out so early in the summer, so I can really focus on preparations for playing in the Barclays Premier League next season,” said the keeper.<br />
"It’s good that I’ll be joining Martin again, he knows my capabilities very well, so I am just looking forward to joining up with the team in pre-season and enjoying some time with them prior to the new season starting."<br />
Meanwhile, a delighted Martin Jol told reporters after securing the signing of his fellow countryman: "Maarten Stekelenburg is a fine quality goalkeeper who I know well from my time working with him at Ajax and of course as the Dutch international goalkeeper I have always had an additional interest in his career. I am sure that he will do well here at Fulham in the Premier League."
