Cottagers capture Keller

Veteran goalkeeper Kasey Keller has joined Fulham.

The Cottagers have been short of options in goal this season, following an injury to first-choice Antti Niemi and with a lack of cover for Tony Warner in the Finn's absence.

Fulham manager Lawrie Sanchez believes 37-year-old American Keller, who has been playing most recently for Borussia Moenchengladbach, could be the right man at the right time for the Barclays Premier League club, saying: "I'm delighted that Kasey has joined us, and I'm sure he'll be a great addition to the squad."

He added: "Obviously, with Antti being injured, it was important we added some strength and depth in that area - and Kasey is a proven professional with impeccable international credentials.

"It's vital we have cover in all areas throughout the squad, and I think he will be a valuable asset to us over the course of the season."

Keller, meanwhile, is delighted at the opportunity to show what he can do again at the top level in English football.

"It's fantastic to be back in the Premier League after a couple of years' absence - and when the opportunity to join Fulham came up it was an exciting proposition that didn't take too much consideration," he said.

"I am really enthusiastic about this new challenge."
