New deal and loan move for Kacaniklic

Winger Alex Kacaniklic has signed a new deal at Fulham but will spend the rest of this season on loan at FC Copenhagen.

The 23-year-old tied up a switch to the Danish side after agreeing an extension to his contract which will keep him at Craven Cottage until the summer of 2016.

Kacaniklic played 23 times in the Premier League last season but his only appearance for the Whites since relegation came as a substitute in the 5-1 thrashing at Derby last month.

He will be returning to Scandanavia for the first time since leaving his native Sweden in 2007 to join Liverpool’s youth set up.

Midfielder Ryan Tunnicliffe has also left the club on loan, joining Championship rivals Blackburn until the end of the season.

The 21-year-old arrived in January from Manchester United but made just three appearances and spent time on loan at Ipswich.

Fulham were also hoping to offload Bryan Ruiz, Fernando Amorebieta and Hugo Rodallega on deadline day.

Former Whites defender John Arne Riise, meanwhile, is set to play in the Champions League again after signing for APOEL.

The 33-year-old, released by Fulham after their relegation from the top flight, won the competition with Liverpool in 2005 and will relive his glory days after the Cypriot side were drawn with Barcelona, Paris St-Germain and Ajax.
