Gonzalo joins Fulham: 'Best decision now'

Gonzalo García is now officially a Fulham player. The London club has paid around €40 million for 70% of his rights and the striker has signed a five-year contract, according to Mundo Deportivo.

In his first media appearance with the club, the Spanish forward expressed his satisfaction: «I'm very grateful and happy with the trust that the club and Álvaro Arbeloa have placed in me. I'm very confident to get started». The Madrid-born manager proved decisive in bringing Gonzalo to Craven Cottage, having worked with him previously.

Gonzalo praised his connection with the new coach: «My relationship with the manager is very good, I've been with him in the academy and the senior team and he's always given me great confidence». Reflecting on his previous spell, he recalled the hat-trick he scored against Real Betis this year. When asked about Spain's national team, he chose to focus on Fulham: «I'm a very ambitious person and I want to achieve the maximum here. I want to score many goals».
