Fulham Strike £30m Deal To Sign Andersen From Crystal Palace
Fulham have completed the signing of central defender Joachim Andersen from Crystal Palace for a fee that could rise to £30m.
Andersen is making a return to Craven Cottage, where he spent the 2020/2021 season on loan from Olympique Lyon.
The 28-year-old Denmark international signed for Palace from Lyon in 2021 and has played the last three seasons with the Eagles.
Andersen featured 112 times for Palace but has now signed a five-year contract at his new club.
“It’s really nice to be here. Feels a little bit like coming home, so it’s a good feeling," Anderson told Fulham's official website.
“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.”
