Premier League Transfers: 10 Spanish Stars Who Could Move To England

8. Fernando Amorebietafernando arm By no means a household name in Spain, let alone England, Amorebieta's move to Fulham that was confirmed earlier this month seemed to slip quietly under the radar. However this shrewd piece of business by Martin Jol, may yet prove to be crucial for Fulham next season. The West London club experienced constant problems at the back last campaign, and without the goals of Dimitar Berbatov, they may have found themselves in a relegation battle. Yet with Amorebieta signing a four year deal at the club, Fulham have taken a stride to resolving their defensive frailties. A no nonsense defender - Amorebieta has picked up a remarkable 75 yellow and 11 red cards in Spain's top flight- that is comfortable on the ball, Amorebieta has represented his country of birth, Venezuela 8 times, having played for Spain at youth level. He was too part of the Bilbao team that reached the Europa League final in 2012, knocking Manchester United out along the way. A probable central defensive partner to Brede Hangeland, if Amorebieta can replicate his La Liga form next term, Fulham may have pulled off an early coup in the transfer market.
