"I have made no secret of the fact that I believe the squad lacks a certain balance in specific areas and following the loss of Brian McBride to injury, this is true of our strike force," Fulham manager Roy Hodgson told the club's official website.
"At 6 foot and one inch tall, Eddie has the presence that will complement the other forwards within our squad and he has the ability to offer us another dimension to our attacking play.
"I am delighted that he has joined us."
