Fulham have completed the signing of Brighton midfielder Rohan Ince and Sporting’s Zakaria Labyad on loan until the end of the season.

Dutchman Labyad, 22, primarily operates as an attacking midfielder. He was at PSV Eindhoven before joining Sporting in the summer of 2012.

West London Sport revealed earlier on Monday that the Whites were in talks with Ince, a former Chelsea midfielder currently out of favour at the Amex Stadium.

London-born Ince, 23, spent 11 years on the books at Stamford Bridge but never made a first-team appearance.

He played briefly on loan at Yeovil before being allowed to join Brighton in February 2013.

Ince signed a new three-year contract with the Seagulls in September but was made available for loan to give him more regular first-team football, after just one league start this season.

His chances at Brighton have been further reduced by the signing of former Fulham midfielder Steve Sidwell.
