Fulham have completed agreements to bring in midfielders Manuel Angel from Real Madrid and Hugo Larsson from Eintracht Frankfurt, bolstering their squad ahead of the new season. Both players featured in European competition last term, with Angel graduating through Madrid's youth system and Larsson establishing himself as a regular in the Bundesliga.
Angel, a 22-year-old Spanish youth international, will move to Craven Cottage on undisclosed terms following his first-team breakthrough at the Spanish club earlier this year. The midfielder trained through Madrid's academy before earning senior opportunities and will now work under Alvaro Arbeloa, who previously managed him. His arrival marks the third transfer from Real Madrid to Fulham in recent windows, following defenders Gonzalo Garcia and Cesar Palacios to west London.
Larsson's switch from Frankfurt represents a more substantial financial commitment, with the Swedish international expected to cost €25m (£21.4m). The 22-year-old has been a fixture in the Bundesliga since joining Frankfurt three years ago, accumulating 87 appearances in Germany's top division. He has earned 12 senior caps for Sweden's national team, demonstrating his development as a midfielder at the highest level.
Beyond these two signings, Fulham are in advanced negotiations to complete a third deal. Austrian centre-back David Affengruber, 25, travelled to London on Tuesday afternoon from his current club Elche, with officials expressing confidence that terms will be finalised. The defensive reinforcement would represent another key addition to Marco Silva's squad.
The midfield and defensive acquisitions form part of an ambitious summer recruitment drive. If all three deals reach completion, Fulham will have brought in seven players during the transfer window, with midfielder Shea Charles and forward Jonah Kusi-Asare having already joined the club at Craven Cottage.
