Fredy Montero to Europe; Fulham?

The British media is known for fabricating rumors and nonsense in all matters relating to soccer and transfers. This rumor, which I stumbled across this morning, seems much more plausible (mostly because the coach was quoted, but I suppose that could be fabricated as well).

Fredy Montero, the 21-year-old scoring sensation with the Seattle Sounders (he's the second leading scorer in all of MLS with 9 goals, only behind Columbus' Guillermo Barros Schelotto with 10) is being linked with a move to Europe, and Fulham seems to be a likely destination.

As a young player who has made such an impact in MLS, the sky seems to be the limit for him. That said, I'm surprised that he's being linked with England, Europe's undisputed top soccer league. He is explosive and is capable of making special plays whenever he's on the ball, but as I was also reminded yesterday, he's prone to making silly mistakes and be selfish with the ball.

He's young and that can change, but he's certainly capable of making a switch to Europe.
