Fulham sign Palace defender Andersen

Fulham have signed centre-back Joachim Andersen from Crystal Palace for about £30m.

The Cottagers pursued the 28-year-old throughout the summer and had an initial bid rejected as Palace sought a fee closer to £40m.

The Denmark international has joined Fulham - who he played for on loan in 2020-21 - on a five-year deal, with an option to extend for a further year.

"It's really nice to be here. Feels a little bit like coming home, so it's a good feeling," Andersen said.

"Of course, I know the club, I know how Fulham are playing, I know many players, I know some staff, so I didn't need anyone to convince me because I knew a lot of things already.
