Fulham strengthen further with Stoor

Intertoto swansong
The 24-year-old right-back, part of Sweden's team at UEFA EURO 2008™, agreed the move last week but was able to make a farewell Rosenborg appearance on Sunday, scoring in the 2-0 victory against NAC Breda that sealed Norway's first UEFA Intertoto Cup success on the last day of the competition. Last season Stoor played in the UEFA Champions League for Rosenborg, who he joined in 2007 from Hammarby where he had been since the age of 12.

Hodgson impressed
Fulham manager Roy Hodgson said: "I am delighted that Fredrik has joined us officially today. 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."

Signings
The experienced Hodgson, who was appointed in December and helped save Fulham's Premier League status, has not only signed Stoor and Pantsil this summer but also the likes of striker Bobby Zamora, midfielder Zoltán Gera and goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer. Everton FC forward Andy Johnson has also undergone a medical ahead of an expected move.
