Dickson Etuhu is relishing the chance to play alongside former Fulham teammate Danny Murphy at Blackburn
Dickson Etuhu has revealed his main reason for leaving Fulham for relegated Blackburn Rovers was to be reunited with ex-Cottager Danny Murphy.
The pair spent four years playing together in Fulham’s midfield and both have left the club this summer to help Blackburn win promotion back to the top flight.
“Everyone knows the gel that we have together,” Etuhu told BBC Radio Lancashire.
“He’s a good friend, not just on the pitch but off the pitch as well.
“After speaking to him, my mind was made up.”
