Juventus defender Zdenek Grygera is on the verge of joining Martin Jol's Fulham.
The Czech Republic international is expected to travel to London on Monday for a medical after Juve manager Antonio Conte told the player that he did not feature in his plans for the new season.
"Hopefully it will come out well. I take Fulham as a big call and will experience another top league," Grygera told CTK.
"The Premier League is probably the most followed competition at the moment and I am tempted by the prospect of being a part of it.
"It is not easy for me to be leaving Juventus. Juventus is Juventus and, moreover, I have come to love Italy."
The 31-year-old has also played for Sparta Prague and Ajax.
