Martin Jol looking for a new striker

28 July 2013 - 18:49

<strong>Fulham boss Martin Jol has admitted that the club are looking for a new striker to provide cover for Bulgarian forward Dimitar Berbatov.</strong>

  • Fabrizio Romano updates on Nicolas Jackson's future at Chelsea
  • Arsenal suffer big injury blow ahead of Fulham game
  • Fulham finished last season 12th in the Premier League but after a takeover by American billionaire Shahid Khan, they are aiming for a higher finish next season.<br />

    The Cottagers have already brought in Dutch goalkeeper Maarten Sketelenburg and recently added former Lens midfielder Ange-Freddy Plumain to the squad.<br />

    Jol told the club's official website  : <br />

    "We need pace and a little bit of quality. Berbatov was good, but he can't do everything and we needed to get in behind.<br />

    "We will try to get someone up front. We need a few more goals. Since Clint Dempsey left we do not have enough goals in us, so we are working every day to get someone in.<br />

    "We have some high-quality players in consideration and we would like another midfielder as well."
