Fulham bolster squad with double signing

By

Fulham have signed Arsenal midfielder Thomas Eisfeld and Moroccan winger Adil Chihi.

Eisfeld, 21, has signed a two-year contract at Craven Cottage after Fulham agreed an undisclosed fee with the Gunners for the former Germany under-20 international.

Free agent Chihi, 26, who left FC Koln at the end of last season, has signed a one-year deal after impressing during a trial.

It brings the number of Fulham signings this summer to nine, as boss Felix Magath looks to reshape his squad after relegation.

Borussia Dortmund academy graduate Eisfeld arrives at Fulham having made just two first-team appearances for Arsenal.

His debut came in the 7-5 extra-time win over Reading in the League Cup in October 2012, and he scored against West Brom in the same competition last season.

Chihi made more than 130 league appearances for Koln since his debut back in 2005, scoring 20 goals.

However, he made just one brief substitute appearance for the club last season, as they won the second tier of German football, and left following their promotion to the Bundesliga.

Born in Dusseldorf, but of Moroccan descent, Chihi has two caps for his adopted country.
