Some Fulham fans have been discussing their central defender Michael Hector on social media after the club shared some clips of the 27-year-old doing what he does best.
The Jamaican international arrived at Craven Cottage from Chelsea in a deal reportedly worth £5.31m and has played 11 times for Scott Parker’s side in the Championship so far, starting in 92% of the club’s league fixtures since his arrival.
His debut came in the away win at Hull City back in January where he started in the heart of the defence alongside Tim Ream (via Transfermarkt.co.uk).
Here is what some of the Fulham faithful have had to say regarding the player in response to the post.
Fella looking like our best CB since Brede & Aaron.
