Having already spent £34m on Emile Smith Rowe and £7m on Jorge Cuenca, Fulham have also agreed a £27m deal to sign Crystal Palace defender Joachim Andersen.

A deal worth about £17m for Lyon midfielder Rayan Cherki has also been agreed, though it remains to be seen if he wants to move to Craven Cottage.

After Berge completed his move to Fulham, he said: “It feels fantastic. Fulham has always been a team that has excited me.”

“I’ve played them both in the Championship and Premier League, and it’s fantastic how they play, 4-3-3, 4-2-3-1.

“The DNA of the Club is to be dominant, aggressive, front-footed, and play nice football, and I think that suits me.”
