Fulham frontman Erik Nevland is hoping he can fire the goals to help the Cottagers stay in the Premier League.Nevland signed for Roy Hodgson towards the end of January and he is hoping to steer Fulham away from the drop zone - just like the pair once did for Viking FK in the Norwegian Premier League.

Former Manchester United striker Nevland told the club's website: "It's the Premier League. It's the biggest league and the biggest stage to play on and it's what every player wants.

"It was obviously very important coming here and knowing Roy already.

"I have worked with him before, I knew what I could expect from him, and he knows what he can expect from me.

"He brings a definite sense of organisation to the team. Everyone is in the right place and knows exactly what their job in the team is. He brings the team together and I think a united team is important anytime, but especially so when you're struggling at the bottom.

"I hope I can get on a good run of form, be part of the team and do what I can for the team. I think I am a good team player, so any way I can help, I will. I have to get used to the physical side of the game again in England, it's a bit more than what I have been used to playing in Holland or Norway, but I need to get used to it quickly so I can make an important contribution to the team."
