Fulham seal signings of Larsson, Angel and Affengruber


Fulham completed the pre-deadline signing of midfielders Hugo Larsson and Manuel Angel and defender David Affengruber.

Swede Larsson, 22, has been signed from Eintracht Frankfurt on an initial loan ahead of an expected £20m permanent move.

Larsson said: “Obviously, it’s a very proud moment for me and my family – I’m honoured to be here.

“To come here, to the oldest club in London, with all the history that it has, is such an honour for me.”

The 22-year-old Angel is the third player the Whites have signed this summer from head coach Alvaro Arbeloa’s former club Real Madrid, following the arrival of forward Gonzalo Garcia and midfielder Cesar Palacios.

Angel has agreed a three-year deal, with a club option to extend by a further 12 months.

“It’s an incredible feeling to have signed for such a legendary club as Fulham, the oldest in London,” Ángel said.

“And to compete in a league like the Premier League, where every player dreams of playing at some point in their career.”

And Austrian centre-back Affengruber, 25, has been brought in from Elche for a fee in the region of £8.5m.

He has signed a four-year contract, with the club holding an option to extend it by a year.

Affengruber said: “It is a special day for me and my career. This is a big next step for me, and I am very proud and happy to be here.

“It’s been a long day, but a very special one. You don’t often get an opportunity like this. Now, I’m just happy to be here, and very motivated to get started.”
