Fulham ‘still working’ on more new signings
Alvaro Arbeloa has hinted that Fulham are likely to make more new signings before the transfer window closes.
Gonzalo Garcia and Cesar Palacios – players Arbeloa has worked with before at Real Madrid – have been signed this summer, along with Shea Charles.
And new head coach Arbeloa is keen to further strengthen the squad.
“I think we can make the squad stronger and more balanced,” he said.
“But I’m happy with the way that the club is working during this summer. We did the new players, so we’re working on it.
“I am so happy with the club at this moment, how they are working and doing all the time. We brought three very good players. These players had many (other) offers. So I am so happy.”

Fulham will kick off the new season against west London rivals Chelsea, now managed by Arbeloa’s former team-mate Xabi Alonso.
Their friendship will be put aside for 90 minutes on Monday evening.
Arbeloa said: “We are very close friends, so we try to talk every month, every week. and now we will be closer and we can talk about the games – and also we have children and they are friends also.
“Yes, we are good friends and we spent many, many years together. Liverpool, Real Madrid, national team, so we are very good friends.
“You have to face your friends and they are (also)your rivals.”
