Fulham manager Roy Hodgson has continued to revamp his relegation-threatened squad by snapping up the Norway international Erik Nevland.
The 30-year-old moves to Craven Cottage on a two-and-a-half year deal from Groningen after spending four successful years with the Dutch club.
Hodgson is delighted to have captured the former Viking FK and Manchester United player, telling the Cottagers' official website: "He is a player that I know well and I am confident he will contribute to the squad to assist us in this, and further, campaigns.
"Erik has great attributes and played an important part in keeping FK Viking in the Norwegian First Division.
"After joining FC Groningen he quickly established himself as a firm favourite both with the fans, and with the management, and it has been no easy task securing his signature at Fulham.
"However, Erik's desire to play in the Premier League and to find a new challenge has enabled us to bring him to the club, and it is very pleasing that we have been able to do so."
