Holland International Urby Emanuelson is set to complete formalities at Fulham in the next few hours as he joins on a season long loan from AC Milan.

The London side have already added midfield Emmanuel Frimpong in this window but Martin Jol feels that Emanuelson can add something different: “He can play left midfield, wide, play number 10, [and] I feel we need fresh legs.”

“I coached him at Ajax. He is a skilful player, very agile. He is very mobile and quick,” Jol added.

He cost Milan €2.5 million in January 2011, and has since made 60 appearances but Milan have an abundance of midfield talent and won’t necessarily be sorely missed.
