Fulham Beat Man Utd To Sander Berge Signing From Burnley
Fulham have completed the signing of Burnley midfielder Sander Berge for an initial £20m fee.
A further £5m in add-ons has been included in the deal.
Berge has signed a five-year contract at Craven Cottage and becomes Fulham's fourth summer signing.
The Norway international spent just one season with Burnley after joining from Sheffield United last summer and won the club's player of the season as the Clarets suffered relegation to the Championship.
Manchester United were also looking to do a deal for Berge but Fulham have won the race for his signature.
Speaking to FFCtv, Berge said: "It feels fantastic. It's been a little bit back and forth the last few weeks, but I'm finally sitting here in the shirt in this beautiful stadium, knowing that my future is here, which feels great.
"Fulham has always been a team that excited me. I've played them both in the Championship and Premier League, and it's fantastic how they play, 4-3-3, 4-2-3-1.
"The DNA of the Club is to be dominant, aggressive, front-footed, and play nice football, and I think that suits me."
Berge could make his debut against Leicester City this weekend.
