Fulham midfielder Neeskens Kebano has claimed he has adjusted well to life in England following his switch from Genk last month.

The 24-year-old has assured supporters he is ‘enjoying life in London’, and has made a seamless transition.

Speaking to Fulham’s official website, Kebano said: “Everything is good. I like the mentality here. The English mentality means there is a lot of freedom. I like the stadiums here and the different type of atmosphere. It gets me in the mood for the games.”

The Frenchman is appreciating the contrast in styles between England and Belgium, noting the discernible difference in the ‘rhythm’ of the games.

“The speed is different,” he said. “Teams are always looking to counter attack and the games move fast. It’s very, very quick so you have to be ready.”

Kebano has been deployed in various positions behind the striker already this season, and insists he has no qualms with playing out wide if need be.

The Cottagers welcome Bristol City in the third round of the EFL Cup on Wednesday, and Kebano is relishing the do-or-die fate that awaits his side.

The Cottagers began the season well, remaining undefeated in their first five league games, but three recent draws have slowed their momentum.

Following an unconvincing 0-0 draw at Wigan Athletic on Saturday, Slavisa Jokanovic’s side will look to get back on track by marching past Bristol City and into the fourth round.
