The 24-year-old said, as quoted by Fulham's website: “I’m really happy to get this over the line and join Fulham. I’m excited by the project going on here and the football being played last season was lovely on the eye but also effective and I can’t wait to be a part of it and get going.

“I’m excited to be a part of this great club moving forward and to help achieve success in the Premier League."
