Londoners target Spanish star

Fulham are tracking Valencia midfielder David Albelda and hope to sign the player by the end of next week.

The player has been told he can leave the club by Valencia boss Ronald Koeman and many clubs have expressed an interest in the player including Everton and Newcastle.

The Spanish international could be set to join The Cottagers until the end of the season and he would almost double his current wages. Fulham boss Roy Hodgson is keen to bring in new players to help Fulham steer clear of the relegation battle.

I really hope Albelda joins the Premier League because he is a quality player and I feel he would definitely have the ability to help Hodgson's side. I was very surprised when Albelda was told he could leave the Mestalla but these things happen in football.
