Defender Nikolay Bodurov has revealed that it has always been his dream to sign for an English club during his career.

Bodurov has left Litex Lovech to sign a three-year deal with Fulham, and after joining up with the team's pre-season trip to Austria, the Bulgarian believes that he can enjoy a successful season with his new club.

The 28-year-old told the club's official website: "I'm very happy to have signed. It's a moment that I've wanted for a long time. It's a dream of mine.

"I see a good team here – the training camp has been good so far. Everything is very professional here and I think that we have everything we need to have a very successful season."

Burdov has also won 24 caps for his country since making his international debut in 2010.
