Bolton midfielder signs for Fulham

Roy Hodgson’s rebuilding programme at Fulham continued with the signing of Iranian defensive midfielder Andranik Teymourian on a free transfer from Bolton.

The Cottagers boss – who masterminded a remarkable escape from relegation following his appointment in December – has promised a string of new faces before the start of a season in which he intends to establish Fulham as a mid-table side after two years fighting the drop.
