Jol plots Fulham transfer raid

Fulham boss Martin Jol will be busy in this summer transfer window. The Cottagers have been linked with several players and have already completed the signing of Marcel Gecov last week.

"I am happy with the business we've done so far but, as you know, we've lost six or seven players," he said.

"We need a couple of players to get a very good young squad.

"Up front, for example, we have Bobby [Zamora] and Andrew [Johnson] then the rest is [Lauri] Dalla Valle, [Marcello] Trotta - very young players.

"We played them in the [friendly] matches against Wimbledon and Stevenage and they're not ready yet to fill in that role as a back-up for Johnson and Zamora.

"They are talented but of course we need players.

"[Clint] Dempsey is coming back so that helps, but he plays on the left.

"[Moussa] Dembele is injured so last week we had a little problem against Crusaders.

"I had to play Kerim Frei on Thursday and Sunday, which is maybe evidence that we need a couple of players."
