Cottagers swoop for Dacourt
Related Articles
02 January 2009
Dacourt, who is already familiar with English football from spells at Everton and Leeds, has found himself out of favour since the arrival of former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho at the San Siro.
That led to speculation about a possible third stint in the Barclays Premier League, and former Inter boss Roy Hodgson has moved quickly to tie up a short-term deal for the 34-year-old.
The club have also agreed a contract extension with skipper Danny Murphy on a busy deadline day at Craven Cottage.
The former Liverpool midfielder, whose goal on the final day of last season ensured the Cottagers retained their Premier League status, is now tied to the club until the end of next summer.
The Cottagers have also agreed a deal to keep Coventry winger Julian Gray at the club until the end of the season.
Gray, a former Crystal Palace and Birmingham player, initially joined the club in September and made his Cottagers debut in the FA Cup third-round victory over Sheffield Wednesday on January 3.
Meanwhile, defender Elliot Omozusi has been recalled to Craven Cottage from Coca-Cola Championship side Norwich.
The clubs came to a mutual agreement over Omozusi's return to Fulham, who have agreed to let Australian centre-half Adrian Leijer move to Carrow Road until the end of the current campaign. Leijer is the second player to leave Fulham for the Championship on Monday, with former Bolton player Andranik Teymourian joining Barnsley.
Leon Andreasen will spend the rest of the season in the German Bundesliga, having agreed to join Hannover 96 on loan.
