He is due for talks in London either on Monday or Tuesday and is delighted by the prospective move.
He told newspaper De Gelderlander: "I'm glad that there is good news at last.
"The last few weeks were filled with stories about Fulham and Ajax, but I didn't know which way it would turn.
"Now I do. I expect that I can come to an agreement with Fulham."
Ajax bid £2.6million, plus two players for Sikora, but Vitesse rejected that offer.
Sikora was interested in joining the Amsterdammers, champions in Holland last season and coached by Ronald Koeman, but he admitted that a move to the Premiership has been his long-term "dream".
"Of course I would have loved to stay in Holland," he said.
"The chance seemed to be there too, but if clubs can't agree it ends.
"If Ajax would have offered Vitesse enough in the first place, I would have stayed in Holland.
"But England is my dream anyway. You never know if you get a future chance to play there."
