Aaron Hughes says Fulham's tour of Hong Kong has been perfect for the club's new signings.

The former Aston Villa defender explained to fulhamfc.com: "Obviously the Manager's been really busy in the transfer market in recent weeks so the timing of this trip was ideal. Being away together, as a team, in a place like Hong Kong, has been fantastic.

"For the new players it's a great chance to get to know everyone and integrate into the squad. Fortunately most of the new lads knew the coaching staff and some of the players already so it's been a pretty smooth transition for everyone concerned.

"There's a really good atmosphere amongst the lads and the level of competitiveness in training is great. I'm impressed with the squad Lawrie has created here at Fulham in such a short space of time and I'm really looking forward to seeing what we can achieve next season.

"We've also got Jimmy Bullard to come back and when he returns it will be like signing a new player. The Manager's talked of a top ten position and when you look at the players at the Club I think that's a realistic target."
