Ghana defender, John Paintsil dreams of a Fulham place in next season's Europa League as the Cottagers continue with their best ever run in the English premiership.

Fulham, having narrowly avoided relegation last season, have enjoyed a brilliant 2008/09 campaign and are currently in line to qualify for Europe.

Placed seventh on the table and hold a two-point advantage over Tottenham Hotspur ahead of their final game of the season at home to Everton, Roy Hodgson's side are capable of securing an European place.

Paintsil, who joined Fulham from West Ham last summer, told the London Evening Standard: "It's been a great season so far and qualifying for Europe at the end of it would cap it off brilliantly.

"It would be great for everyone at the club to do that. We all have an opportunity to play in Europe and that's something as a player you dream of doing.

"As a team, we've shown what we can do again because coming to a place like Newcastle United is not easy, especially in their situation when it was a must-win game for them and they had home advantage on their side."
