Fulham have completed the signing of Giorgos Karagounis on a free transfer.
The Greek international, 35, left Panathinaikos this summer and the Cottagers have won the race for the veteran’s signature.
During the transfer window Martin Jol lost both Mousa Dembele and Clint Dempsey to Tottenham and the addition of the Euro 2012 star will bring some steel to their midfield.
Karagounis told Fulham’s official website: “I’m delighted to have signed for Fulham Football Club and I am excited by a new challenge in England and the Barclays Premier League.
“I’m looking forward to working under Martin Jol and playing alongside some fantastic players at this Club.”
Martin Jol added: “Giorgos Karagounis has a wealth of club and international experience and I’m happy that he’s joined us for this season.
“He’s been an influential player for his club sides and is a renowned player in world football as he’s about to become the most-capped player for Greece. He brings many certain qualities to our squad.”
Karagounis has won 120 caps for his country and was a member of their European Championship winning side in 2004.
