Goal ace Pogrebnyak is loving Cottage life

Fulham striker Pavel Pogrebnyak is surprised at his speedy adaptation to English football.

The 28-year-old Russian international arrived at Craven Cottage on loan from Stuttgart in January.

After scoring just once in 14 outings in the Bundesliga the striker has since struck five goals in three games, including a hat-trick against Wolves on Sunday, helping his side win the last three matches on the trot.

Speaking to the club’s official website, Pogrebnyak said he was happy in west London and he hopes to continue his good form.

“I’m really happy to be part of this team,” Pogrebnyak said.

“We’re scoring a lot of goals and doing really well and hopefully we can continue like this until the end of the season.”

“I didn’t think it would be so good so early. But I’m really happy that everything is going well and I thank my team mates for everything that has happened so far.”

“I’m enjoying my relationship with the fans. I want to say thank you to them for welcoming me and for their great support.”
