Done Deal: Fulham confirm signing of Andersen from Palace (£ ….
The Denmark center defender, who spent the 2020–21 season on loan at Fulham from Lyon, was first bid £20 million by the Whites. After discussions, an agreement was eventually reached for him to return to Craven Cottage for more than £30 million, despite the fact that his bid was rejected. He agreed to a five-year deal with a one-year extension option. The club’s attempt to sign the 28-year-old on a permanent basis was dashed by his relegation from the Premier League, despite Andersen’s exceptional performance during his tenure. That summer, he became a member of Palace and has played 111 games with the Eagles. After Tosin Adarabioyo and Tim Ream left, Fulham looked to bolster their center-back position. Villarreal’s Jorge Cuenca was recently signed by the team.
Fulham manager Marco Silva made the following statement on Friday afternoon, just before the official signing was set to take place: “I think he’s a terrific addition and a player who is loved by this club.” “I have no doubt that he will bring something significant for us. He will be a valuable asset to us both now and in the future.
