FORMER LIVERPOOL WINGER Ryan Babel has completed a transfer to Fulham, the Premier League side announced this evening.

Babel made 146 appearances for Liverpool during a three-and-a-half year stint at Anfield, which started in 2007.
He subsequently switched to Hoffenheim in 2011 and has also had spells at Ajax, Turkish side Kasimpasa, Al Ain in the UAE and Deportivo La Coruna.
Speaking to fulhamfctv after signing, Babel said he’s confident that Claudio Ranieri’s charges can retain their top-flight status.
