Berbatov Undergoes Fulham Medical

Manchester United's Dimitar Berbatov is having a medical at Fulham, Cottagers manager Martin Jol has confirmed.

Berbatov was close to joining Fiorentina but the deal fell through after interest from the London club.

Fulham have agreed personal terms with Berbatov and are expected to pay United between £3m and £5m for the striker, who was also wanted by Juventus.

"Berbatov is finishing his medical and if everything is good he will be one of our players," Jol said.

"There were a lot of clubs interested but we were able and capable of getting him.

"He was on my list all the time - I tried to do something months ago and it didn't come off so I came back and it was the right moment for him to make his decision."

Fiorentina claim they had agreed a deal with United and had already paid the first instalment of the transfer fee for Berbatov, who was a £30.75m signing from Tottenham in 2008.

"He's not worthy of our city, our shirt and the values it represents," read a statement from the Serie A club.
