Fulham manager Martin Jol has admitted that the Premier League is well suited to Swansea City attacker Michu ahead of his side's clash with the Welsh outfit.

Michu could miss the game after suffering an injury in the goalless draw at Reading, but Jol has insisted that Swansea have a strong enough team to replace him.

"He's scored a lot of goals; he's their top scorer and he's certainly making the difference for them," Jol is quoted as saying by Fulham's official website. "Michu was a player who was known by his manager and that always helps.

"He's scoring more goals than before so the Premier League is well suited for Michu. Sometimes he plays in the hole as a number 10, now he plays up front. However they've got other players who could play in that position."

Fulham are just six points above the relegation zone after their 1-1 draw against Southampton on Boxing Day.
