Etuhu and Paintsil warms up to new coach

Three African players at EPL side Fulham will be welcoming Mark Hughes after being named the successor of Roy Hodgson at Craven Cottage.

John Paintsil (Ghana), Dickson Etuhu (Nigeria) and Kagisho Digkacoi (South Africa) will however need to put in extra efforts to justify their place in the starting line up of the Cottagers as the new coach will be looking to bring in his own type of players.

Hughes ascended to the Fulham top job after the departure of Roy Hodgson to Liverpool in June and is reported to have signed a three year deal worth 2 million pounds a year.
