Fulham have signed Denmark defender Joachim Andersen from Crystal Palace for approximately £30 million, including add-ons, on a five-year deal with an option for an additional year. Andersen, who previously played on loan at Fulham during the 2020-21 season, moved back to Craven Cottage after Fulham lost defenders Tosin Adarabioyo and Tim Ream earlier in the transfer window. The transfer is seen as a significant acquisition for Fulham, adding maturity and leadership to their defense. Palace, meanwhile, are working to retain Andersen's center-back partner Marc Guehi amid interest from Newcastle. Andersen's move includes a substantial pay hike, making him one of the highest earners at Fulham.
