Fulham has made a significant move in the transfer market by signing midfielder Sander Berge from Burnley for a reported fee of £20m. This signing comes after the club was unable to reach an agreement with Manchester United for Scott McTominay.
Berge, who is 26 years old, becomes Fulham’s fourth signing of the transfer window, joining Emile Smith Rowe, Jorge Cuenca, and Ryan Sessegnon. The club has been looking to bolster their midfield following the departure of Joao Palhinha to Bayern Munich.
The midfielder impressed during his time at Burnley, particularly in their win against Fulham last season. He joined Burnley from Sheffield United last summer and has now expressed his excitement about joining Fulham, stating, “I’m finally sitting here in the shirt in this beautiful stadium, knowing that my future is here, which feels great.”
In addition to signing Berge, Fulham is also expected to secure the services of defender Joachim Andersen from Crystal Palace. The club’s fans will be hopeful that these new signings can help them achieve their goals for the upcoming season.
The acquisition of Berge adds depth and quality to Fulham’s midfield, providing manager with more options and flexibility in his team selection. His experience in the Premier League will be valuable as Fulham aims to compete at the highest level.
With Berge now on board, Fulham supporters will be eagerly anticipating the start of the new season and the impact that the midfielder can make on the team. The club’s ambitions will be high, and the fans will be hoping for a successful campaign ahead.
