Fulham striker Mladen Petric enjoying life with Premier League club


Mladen Petric: Enjoying life in London with Fulham

Fulham striker Mladen Petric says he is enjoying life in London as he bids to improve his goal tally at the club.

Petric arrived at Craven Cottage last summer following his release by Hamburg and has gone on to make 15 appearances for the Londoners, scoring five goals.

Competition up front from Dimitar Berbatov and Hugo Rodallegahas limited the 32-year-old's first-team chances and he admits he has not found his best goalscoring form.

But Croatia international Petric has adapted well to life in London since his move and is happy to stay.

He told Glas Slavonije: "London is an amazing city and I regret that I didn't come here even earlier.

"Quality of life is very high; this city is phenomenal for life.

"I'm happy if my wife and kids are happy and they all love it here. We live in Chelsea, we have everything at hand and I really cannot complain."

Of his recent form at Fulham, Petric added: "I could have scored more goals but, then again, my statistics would probably be better if I had played more.

"But I do not want to look for excuses. I will do my best to improve my numbers and that is all."

Andy Carroll in line to make West Ham return against Fulham

West Ham striker Andy Carroll is expected to make his first-team return against Fulham on Wednesday night but will probably have to settle for a place on the substitutes' bench.

Carroll has been sidelined since the end of November after picking up a knee injury during the 1-0 defeat against Manchester United at Old Trafford.

The England striker has finally resumed training and is desperate to make an impact for the east London club following his loan move from Liverpool.

West Ham are the lowest scorers in the Premier League away from home and Carroll has only netted one goal this season.

The 24-year-old faces a battle to win back his place in the team as new signing Marouane Chamakh looks set to start the game at Craven Cottage and Carlton Cole is also vying for a place in the West Ham attack.
