Fulham complete signing of Ivory Coast international

Fulham have completed the deadline-day signing of Ivorian striker Cyriac.

The 26-year-old has joined on loan from Oostende until the end of the season, with a view to a permanent deal.

He has Champions League experience with Anderlecht, starting both group-stage games against Arsenal in 2014-15, and reached the last 16 of the Europa League with Standard Liege in 2012.

Cyriac – full name Gohi Bi Zoro Cyriac Sede – was Oostende’s top scorer last season with 14 goals in 33 league games.

However, he has found the net only four times in 21 matches in the Belgian top flight this term.

Fulham were reportedly interested in signing him in August, but have now made their move following the sale of Matt Smith to QPR and Cauley Woodrow’s loan move to Burton Albion.
