Joachim Andersen Transfer: Fulham Secures Deal with Crystal Palace
Fulham Completes Agreement with Crystal Palace for Joachim Andersen
Fulham has reached an agreement in principle to sign Joachim Andersen from Crystal Palace. After several offers, a compromise has been found on a fee of around £30 million, including add-ons. All parties are now focused on finalizing the deal for the 28-year-old Denmark international centre-back.
Background on Andersen’s Career
The west London club has been on the lookout for centre-back reinforcements following recent departures. Andersen, who spent the 2020-21 season on loan at Fulham from Lyon, played a pivotal role during his time at the club, participating in 31 matches as the team struggled with relegation.
Having originally joined Palace from Lyon in the summer of 2021 for approximately €22 million (£18.8 million), Andersen has since made 113 appearances across all competitions for Palace, contributing three goals. Last season, he was crucial for Palace, starting all 38 matches, which helped the club achieve their joint-highest Premier League finish under manager Oliver Glasner.
Looking Ahead
Fulham began their 2024-25 campaign with a narrow 1-0 defeat last weekend and are scheduled to return to Premier League action at home this Saturday.
