Felix Magath: 'Lewis Holtby's loan move to Fulham was a mistake'

Fulham manager Felix Magath criticises midfielder Lewis Holtby, saying that he shouldn't have moved to the London club in January.

Fulham manager Felix Magath has claimed that midfielder Lewis Holtby shouldn't have moved to the London club in January.

Magath also criticised Holtby for not giving his all in Fulham's fight against relegation following his loan move from Tottenham Hotspur.

The Cottagers were relegated after being beaten 4-1 by Stoke City last week.

Magath told Sky Sports News: "Lewis is a very skilful and a nice player, but he is not a fighter - I think it was not the right move for him.

"The players told me they cannot fight, I don't know why. They cannot fight, they haven't learned it."

Holtby joined Spurs in 2013 from Schalke 04.
