Fulham reach agreement for Besiktas goalkeeper Fabri

Fabri reveals that "an agreement in principle" has been reached as he prepares to swap Besiktas for Premier League new boys Fulham.

Spanish goalkeeper Fabri has said that he is ready "for another adventure" after revealing that an agreement is in place between Besiktas and Fulham.

The 30-year-old is on the brink of becoming the Cottagers' third signing of the summer - following the arrivals of Jean Michael Seri and Maxime Le Marchand - ahead of their return to the Premier League.

Fabri started all 34 of Besiktas's Super Lig games last season and has also previously represented Deportivo La Coruna, Real Betis and Valladolid in his native Spain.

Speaking to Turkish broadcaster A Spor, Fabri all but confirmed that he is on his way to Craven Cottage.

"I have been very interested in the Premier League for a long time now," he said. "Fulham and Besiktas have an agreement in principle, only signatures are missing. I think it is time for me to go for another adventure.

"I want to thank Besiktas for everything. I am happy to have been here and to have done my best."

Fulham offloaded back-up goalkeeper David Button to Brighton & Hove Albion earlier this week.
