Fulham have sealed the deal for Swedish international Hugo Larsson, arriving from Eintracht Frankfurt.
The 22‑year‑old moved to Frankfurt from Malmö in 2023 and has logged 83 Bundesliga games over three seasons.
He received clearance to travel for a medical with the London side before finalising the transfer before Tuesday’s deadline.
The arrangement is a loan that triggers a compulsory purchase up to €25 million, according to insiders who asked to stay anonymous.
“It’s a proud moment for me and my family – I’m honoured to be here,” Larsson said. “Joining the oldest London club, steeped in history, feels like a true privilege.”
Summer has reshaped Craven Cottage under new boss Álvaro Arbeloa, who took over from Marco Silva after the latter’s contract expired in June.
Larsson teams up with Shea Charles in midfield, while Gonzalo García and César Palacios also arrived from Real Madrid this window.
What will Larsson bring? Will his versatility lift Fulham’s midfield balance next season?
His physical, athletic box‑to‑box style should translate well to the Premier League. In my view, his stamina gives Fulham a real edge.
Although not a classic playmaker, the Swede times runs into the box to finish chances and offers defensive help when out of possession.
He isn’t a traditional ball‑winner, yet his work rate will still bolster the back line.
