Fulham's return to the Premier League and subsequent determined summer shopping spree has seen the capital city side secure three more top-flight talents.
The Cottagers announced last-second deadline-day moves for Marseille defensive midfielder Andre Zambo Anguissa, Sevilla shot-stopper Sergio Rico, and Atletico Madrid striker Luciano Vietto. Anguissa, 22, joins Fulham for a reported £22.3-million fee, according to the BBC, while Vietto and Rico, both 24, are off to Craven Cottage for the third loan spell on the spin.
Back in the top tier after a four-year hiatus in the Championship, Fulham have made a slew of signings this summer, including Jean Michael Seri, Alfie Mawson, Maxime Le Marchand, and Fabri. Slavisa Jokanovic's charges also appear set to profit from season-long loans, with Borussia Dortmund's Andre Schurrle and Arsenal's Calum Chambers joining Vietto and Rico in west London for the season. Fabri and Rico will compete for first-choice 'keeper duties, while Vietto will challenge a returning Aleksandar Mitrovic for the No. 9 role.
Capped 11 times by Cameroon, Anguissa enjoyed a breakthrough campaign as part of Marseille's Europa League run last season, making 33 Ligue 1 appearances to go with eight on the continent.
Rico is a short-term addition to Fulham after Sevilla lured former FC Basel netminder Tomas Vaclik to the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium, a situation Vietto can relate to because Nikola Kalinic's move to Atleti made the Argentinian redundant for the upcoming season.
Fulham kicks off its return to Premier League football when they welcome Croydon crew Crystal Palace to Craven Cottage on Aug. 11.
