Fulham manager Martin Jol has confirmed that Czech Under-21 international Marcel Gecov has joined Fulham for an undisclosed fee.
The 23-year-old impressed during the summer's Under-21 European Championships and has been on the Cottagers' radar for the past year.
Gecov has signed a two-year deal with the club after successfully passing a medical.
"He's signed and I am happy with him," said Jol. "He is a very talented player.
"Good midfield player and played against England [in the Under-21 European Championships] and got two assists so he is full of confidence.
"He knows he can play against English teams and that helps. He signed the contract yesterday.
"He had a very good tournament and was very decisive in games.
"That gave us confidence and he has been on our radar for at least a year.
"The Fulham scouts knew him and had very good reports on him."
The deal is said to be around £700,000 and Jol believes Gecov is a good addition to the Cottagers' squad.
"He is a typical midfield player and he is relatively young," he added.
"He is aggressive and, as I've said, I am happy he is on board."Meanwhile, Jol has confirmed John Arne Riise will make his Fulham debut in tomorrow's Europa League second qualifying round second leg against Crusaders.
