Fulham set to sign Crystal Palace defender Andersen

Fulham are set to sign Crystal Palace centre-back Joachim Andersen for about £30m.

The Cottagers have pursued Andersen throughout the summer transfer window and had a bid rejected as Palace sought a fee close to £40m.

However, a deal has been agreed and the Denmark defender will have a medical on Wednesday before completing a return to the club he played for on loan in the 2020-21 season.

The 28-year-old made 112 appearances for the Eagles since joining from Lyon in the summer of 2021.

There has also been interest in Andersen's centre-back partner Marc Guehi from Newcastle United and chairman Steve Parish said it would be "unlikely" the Eagles would let both players leave.
