Fulham have signed Joachim Andersen from Crystal Palace on a five-year deal with the option of a further year. 

The centre back has completed the move across London in a deal worth around £30million.

Andersen had previously been on loan at Fulham during the 2020/21, where he had become a fan favourite.

Speaking to FFCtv, Andersen said: ‘It’s really nice to be here. Feels a little bit like coming home, so it’s a good feeling.

‘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.

‘I had some good talks with the manager. I know the playing style he likes to play, so it was just a decision I needed to make myself, with my wife and family, and see what’s the best for me, and I think this is a good step for my career.’

The Danish international had made 113 appearances across all competitions for the Crystal Palace.

Crystal Palace have also announced the departure of Jordan Ayew, with the 32-year-old joining Leicester for an initial £5million.

‘I’m very happy to be here and I’m proud. I want to thank the club as they fought hard to bring me here – it happened quickly and I’m so happy to be here,’ Ayew told Leicester’s club website.

‘As a player, when you hear that the manager wants you, it just makes you want to come and work under him and to try to improve. Even though I’m 32, as a player you always want to learn and improve. 

‘I’m here to work hard and help the team achieve their targets.’

Ayew made 212 appearances for the Eagles across six seasons, winning the club’s Player of the Season and Player’s Player of the Season in the 2019/20 campaign.
