Giorgios Karagounis admits its a lifelong dream come true to sign for Fulham.

The 35-year-old midfielder admits the opportunity of testing himself in England's top-flight played a huge part in his decision.

"Playing in England was a big motive, for sure, as the Premier League is one of the best, if not the best, league in the world," the Greece captain said.

"But also Fulham is very competitive, with fantastic players and a fantastic coach so that was also very important in my decision to come here.

"Martin Jol told me that this is a team with a very good structure that is very organised in every aspect - on the field and off the field.

"Fulham play good football, play quick football and that is something that suits me as a player and is something that Martin Jol said and that I liked."
