Garcia and Palacios 'will raise our level' - Arbeloa

[Getty Images] Fulham head coach Alvaro Arbeloa says Gonzalo Garcia and Cesar Palacios are "ambitious and talented players", having worked with them both during his time as a coach at Real Madrid. The new signings have penned five-year deals at Craven Cottage, with a club option for a further year. "I know Gonzalo [Garcia] very well," Arbeloa told Fulham's website . "I have had many years working with him. This is a very young player with a lot of ambition and capacity. "He has pace, quality and everything that I need from a striker, so we are very lucky to have him in the team. It is going to be a good season for him and the fans will enjoy watching him. "I also know Cesar [Palacios] very well. He is the type of player that you buy a ticket to watch. He is like a magician, he has that type of talent. He is a player that is very different and works really hard. "They are both young, ambitious and talented players. They are two great signings that I think will raise our level, for sure." Fulham posted a video of the duo reuniting with their former coach at Motspur Park on Wednesday afternoon.
