Manuel Angel, Fulham's latest addition from Real Madrid, has expressed his enthusiasm about joining the club and working under his former youth academy coach, Alvaro Arbeloa. The 22-year-old midfielder signed a three-year contract on deadline day, marking him as the third player to make the transition from Real Madrid to Fulham this summer.
In a statement reflecting on his new journey, Angel shared, "It is an incredible feeling to have signed for such a legendary club as Fulham, the oldest club in London." He emphasized the significance of competing in the Premier League, a dream for many players around the world. His excitement is palpable as he prepares to make his mark in one of the most prestigious leagues in football.
Angel has a deep respect for Arbeloa, stating, "Training under Alvaro Arbeloa is a real privilege. I’ve known him for many years, and he is a coach who brings out the best in players, gets the most out of each one of them, and most importantly understands them." This connection is expected to foster a productive environment as Angel aims to adapt quickly to his new surroundings.
As he gears up for his first training session, Angel is eager to demonstrate his commitment and intensity on the pitch. He remarked, "I must give him the same intensity and commitment - or even more than ever before. I’m counting down the hours until my first training session." His determination to excel is evident, and he is ready to contribute to the team's success.
In addition to his excitement about working with Arbeloa, Angel is looking forward to reuniting with friends Gonzalo Garcia and Cesar Palacios, who have also made the move to Fulham. He noted, "I’ve known them both for many years. They are outstanding players who have come of age in the best youth academy in the world: Real Madrid’s." This camaraderie is expected to ease his transition to life in London, both on and off the field.
Fulham, a club steeped in history and tradition, will provide Angel with a platform to showcase his talents in the Premier League. As the season approaches, fans will be eager to see how the young midfielder integrates into the squad and contributes to Fulham's ambitions in the league.
