- Johnson eyes Cottage spot
Fulham's new recruit Eddie Johnson is relishing the chance to impress, having moved to England last month from MLS side Kansas City Wizards.
The 23-year-old forward has yet to make a first-team appearance for the Cottagers, but he is looking forward to the challenge of proving himself in a totally new environment.
He told the club's official website: "It was a dream come true to make the move to the Premier League.
"Every day is a big challenge, nothing over here is guaranteed to you as a player. You have to prove yourself on a daily basis and I think that is one of the major differences from the MLS.
"No-one is different from another guy in the squad, there is no special treatment or perceived level of status, you are rewarded with how you train and play in games and that's how it should be.
"The coach treats everyone equally in terms of his expectations and demands, which are very high and I know I have to work hard to match these, which I am willing to do."
