Fulham agree to sign midfielders Angel and Larsson

What the report says

Fulham have agreed deals to sign midfielders Manuel Angel from Real Madrid and Hugo Larsson from Eintracht Frankfurt, according to BBC Sport Football. The moves were reported on transfer deadline day coverage and would add two young midfield options to Marco Silva’s squad, although Fulham have not yet announced the transfers in the supplied text.

BBC Sport said Angel is a Real Madrid academy graduate who made his first-team debut earlier this year. The Spanish youth international is set to join for an undisclosed fee and would link up again with former coach Alvaro Arbeloa. He would also become another player to move from the Spanish capital to Craven Cottage, adding to a recent run of arrivals from Madrid.

Larsson, who has been capped 12 times by Sweden, is expected to cost €25m (£21.4m), according to the report. The 22-year-old has spent three seasons at Frankfurt and has made 87 Bundesliga appearances. BBC Sport noted that both players featured in the Champions League last season, underlining Fulham’s focus on experienced young talent with top-level European exposure.

If completed, the signings would continue Fulham’s active summer recruitment and reflect the club’s willingness to invest in emerging players from major European leagues.
