Fulham signed Sweden defender Fredrik Stoor, seen here on June 14, from Norwegian side Rosenborg

LONDON (AFP) - Fulham signed Sweden defender Fredrik Stoor from Norwegian side Rosenborg on Wednesday, the English Premier League club announced.

The 24-year-old right back has joined the London side on a four-year deal and Fulham manager Roy Hodgson told the Cottagers' official website: "I am delighted that Fredrik has joined us officially today (Wednesday).

"He is a player I have followed for some time through my contacts with the Swedish national team. I watched him closely with his club side and we did a lot of research on him.

"Of course I had the opportunity to see him at close hand in the three matches that Sweden played in Euro 2008. and we decided that this was the player for us at right back. Certainly with John Pantsil and Fredrik Stoor we have excellent cover for that position for the coming season."

This is a good signing after last season, Fulham will be in the second 10 again, but I'm sure they'll have a good season in store! :D

I sure hope so, with three Americans still in the squad.

Looks like Fulham don't want to pull off the Great Escape two years in a row...Stoor and the rest of the new bunch should help them significantly. Hopefully (though not likely) they can beat their more prominent blue neighbors once or twice...

As long as Fulham stay up again, I'm happy.

I'm with Crusader1987. Still disappointed that Bullard is gone though.
