Disillusioned Van der Sar seeks to leave Fulham

EDWIN van der Sar says he wants to leave Fulham after slamming the club’s failure to achieve their ambitions.

The Holland goalkeeper was brought to west London by former boss Jean Tigana at a time when Fulham looked as if they could establish themselves as a force in the Premiership with the backing of multi-millionaire chairman Mohammed Al-Fayed.

However, with Fulham homeless and Tigana gone, the picture has changed, and Van der Sar believes the time is right for him to leave.
