Fulham have moved swiftly to fill the void left by Manchester United bound striker Louis Saha after confirming on Tuesday that they have signed United States striker Brian McBride. The 31-year-old, who has scored 23 goals in 72 internationals, opted to join Fulham instead of rivals Blackburn Rovers.
Fulham To Sign McBride
A source familiar with the McBride negotiations said Fulham came in at the 11th hour to sink a planned two million-dollar transfer to Blackburn. The source said McBride was expected to earn up to two million dollars a year.
McBride is no stranger to English football, having played for Everton on loan last season and he also had a previous spell with Preston North End.
