Fulham youngster Alex Kacaniklic says the support of manager Martin Jol has brought out the best in him.

The Swede struck in victory over Norwich City on Saturday.

"I was happy at Liverpool," he told fulhamfc.com. "It was up to me if I wanted to leave. Fulham really wanted me and I wanted to come here. Now it looks like it was a pretty good move. I've been here two years now and now the Manager believes in me. He gives young players chances.

"He really takes care of all the young players and always wants them to improve and always encourages them to do what they're good at.

"He gives extra sessions and he talks to us and just encourages us to play our game and gives us belief that we can play.

"I'm really happy to be with that Manager. A lot of young players are coming through here at Fulham we have myself, Pajtim Kasami, Kerim Frei, and it's pretty much because of the Manager."
