Zoltan Gera has revealed that Fulham's strong desire to sign him was the deciding factor in his move from West Brom on a three-year contract.
The Hungarian turned down the offer of a new contract at The Hawthorns to join Fulham on a free transfer.
"I'm very happy and untroubled as it's done," he told his homeland press.
"There was a huge pressure on me, the decision I had to make affects my whole life.
"I had detailed offers from some teams and it wasn't an easy choice. I told myself I had to go to the club which wanted me the most.
"But this viewpoint didn't ease my situation because luckily there were a couple of teams that gladly wanted me and WBA wanted me to stay too.
"I've chosen Fulham, because I felt they were keen on me a little bit more than the other clubs."
Gera added: "This is a new challenge for me and, having spoken to (Fulham manager) Roy Hodgson, I'm impressed with the club's aims. I'm confident I can play a worthy part."
Hodgson told Fulham's website: "Zoltan is a versatile player whose skill and athleticism make him an ideal attacking midfield player but he can also play as a striker.
"He had a lot of options when he decided to move and we are delighted he chose to come to Fulham."
