Fulham have completed the signing of World Cup winning winger Andre Schürrle on a two-year loan from German side Borussia Dortmund. 

The west London side confirmed the move on Wednesday evening as they prepare for their first Premier League season since 2013/14, having already brought in Jean Michael Seri and Maxime Le Marchand to complement the squad which won promotion to the top flight in May. 

In a statement on the club's website, Schürrle said: “I’m so happy to be here, I can’t wait to get started. Fulham were the first club that showed interest in me - that was something that I appreciated a lot, and one of the reasons I wanted to come here.

“I love ball possession, I love attacking, and I love making runs, so I think it could be perfect. I have to fight for my place and I have to show my quality so that I can be a member who really helps the team.”

Chairman Tony Khan added: “I’m thrilled to announce that the Fulham Football Club has signed André Schürrle on loan from Borussia Dortmund. André has been a top target for us, as he has for other clubs throughout Europe, so I’m very happy that our pursuit was successful.

Come on Fulham!”
