German club Hamburger SV have completed the signing of Czech keeper Jaroslav Drobny from relegated club Hertha Berlin. The 30 year old stopper joins HSV on a free transfer and has signed a three year contract with the north German outfit.

HSV are the third German club to have been represented by Drobny. Before joining Hertha from Ipswich Town, he had a short spell on loan at VfL Bochum. Drobny has also played for České Budějovice, Fulham, ADO Den Haag, Panionios and Vítkovice.

Drobny will compete with veteran Frank Rost for the No.1 jersey at the Nordbank Arena.

According to the Daily Mail, Fulham are set to sign England keeper David James on a free transfer. James, who has been set as England’s first-choice goalkeeper by manager Fabio Capello, has long been tipped to leave Portsmouth following the club’s relegation to the Championship.

And with his contract finishing at the end of last season, the 39-year-old has successfully negotiated a contract with the Cottagers. The keeper now moves to the Europa League finalists with Fulham’s number one Mark Schwarzer tipped to move to Arsenal next week for £3.5 million.

Bari sporting director Guido Angelozzi insists they have no plans to make a move for Roma forward Stefano Okaka.
