Fulham manager Martin Jol has hailed Dimitar Berbatov as the club's "biggest" player.

Berbatov joined Fulham on transfer deadline day and has scored two goals in two games for the club since his move.

Jol revealed the trust he has in the striker, backing him to play a lot of games if he can stay fit.

"The big difference for him is that he knows, if he is fit, then he will play a lot of games. He's an important part of our set-up, of course. He's probably our biggest player," said Jol.

"At Man United, which of course is a bigger club, it was maybe different in the last year or so, but don't forget that Dimitar was the top scorer wherever he played. In Germany for Leverkusen, he was top scorer. He did the same at Spurs. He was ahead of all the other players, like Robbie Keane, [Jermain] Defoe.

"Then he went to Man United. He was their top scorer and, of course, they trusted him over there because he was their top scorer. If you sign someone, you trust him. Otherwise, you'd better leave it. So I think all these managers who signed him, they trusted him. I don't see any difference."

Fulham's next match comes against Wigan in the Premier League tomorrow.
