Hangeland signs new Fulham deal

Fulham defender Brede Hangeland has signed a new contract that is set to keep him at Craven Cottage until 2013.

Hangeland joined the Londoners in January 2008, but has been linked with big-money moves to Arsenal and Manchester United in recent months.

However, the 28-year-old has pledged his future to the club, saying: "I am delighted and hope that this now ends months of speculation about my future.

"I've always maintained that I am happy at Fulham and committed to the club."

The new three-and-a-half year contract comes on the back of a string of impressive performances following his move from FC Copenhagen for an undisclosed fee, helping Fulham to their highest ever league finish and Europa League qualification last season.

Good defender and a great prospect.
He'll end up at a top four club before that contact is out.
Hopefully we can nab him.

Meh, overrated player. Leave him at his level with Fulham.

In the games I saw him play in last year I thought he was very good. How is he fairing out this season?

I'm not sure he's much of a 'prospect' at 28. If anything, signing this new contract has made him much less tempting for the top four. He'd be pretty expensive, I suspect.
