Roma goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg becomes Fulhams fourth transfer signing of summer
Fulham have completed the signing of Dutch international goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg from Roma on a four-year-deal.
The London club have been linked with the 30-year-old Holland international for a number of months and he will reunite with his countryman Martin Jol at Craven Cottage, who also managed him at Ajax.
Stekelenburgs capture is the fourth Fulham have made this summer following deals for Sascha Riether, Derek Boateng and Fernando Amorebieta and he is happy to be team with up Jol once again.
Its good that Ill be joining Martin again, Stekelenburg, who has 54 caps for Holland, told Fulhams official website.
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.
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 Premier League next season.
The deal casts further doubt over the future of long-term Fulham No.1 Mark Schwarzer, who may now look to leave the club before the start of the new season.
