Fulham have agreed to sign midfielders Manuel Angel and Hugo Larsson from Real Madrid and Eintracht Frankfurt respectively. Larsson is expected to cost €25m (£21.4m), while Angel arrives from Madrid on an undisclosed fee.
Fulham's midfield recruitment
The move fits a busy summer at Craven Cottage. The club have also brought in Gonzalo Garcia, Cesar Palacios, Shea Charles and Jonah Kusi-Asare in the same window, according to BBC Sport.
Angel made his first-team debut earlier this year, and he will reunite with former boss Alvaro Arbeloa at Fulham. That gives the signing a bit more familiarity than the average young arrival from Madrid.
Larsson's profile
Larsson is the more expensive and more established addition. BBC Sport reported that he has been capped 12 times by Sweden and has made 87 Bundesliga appearances, which explains why Fulham are paying a bigger fee for him than for Angel.
The Swedish midfielder has already played a substantial amount of senior football for Eintracht Frankfurt, and Fulham are clearly treating him as a player who can step in quickly rather than a long-term project alone.
The pair arrive as Fulham keep working through their midfield rebuild, with Larsson the costlier deal and Angel the one whose fee stays undisclosed.
