After continued reports linking Eddie Johnson with a move to a host of European clubs, the American striker put an end to the speculation by signing a three-year deal with Fulham in January 2008.
Johnson was the youngest ever player to sign with the MLS in 2001, joining FC Dallas where he scored 24 goals in 84 appearances, and quickly developed into a full international for the US national team.
Having won the Golden Shoe at the 2004 FIFA World Youth Championships, Johnson was part of the 2006 FIFA World Cup squad and has an impressive ratio of one goal in every three games for the States.
Signed from Kansas City Wizards, where he netted 17 times in 43 games, Johnson made six appearances for Fulham during the second half of the 2007-08 season.
The Florida-born striker spent last term on loan at Cardiff City in the Championship, where a positive campaign yielded more than 30 appearances, two goals and a number of assists.
In January 2010 Johnson was loaned to Aris FC in Greece until 30 June 2010.
