Fulham have confirmed the signing of Leeds winger Dan James on a season-long loan.
James was an integral part of the Wales team that qualified for the 2022 World Cup later this year, and he has joined Fulham for the 2022-23 season after a flurry of rumours about his next club.
Marco Silva, the Fulham manager, was part of the discussion which brought the talented Welsh winger to London.
Dan James has joined Fulham on loan for the season from Premier League rivals Leeds United
According to the club website, 24-year-old James told FFCtv: ‘I’m looking forward to it!
‘I’ve spoken to the Gaffer and it feels like a great fit for me, and I can’t wait to get started.’
Fulham executive Tony Khan said: ‘I’m thrilled to welcome Dan James to Fulham. He’s an exciting talent, and he’s gained tremendous playing experience at a young age, both domestically and internationally.
‘Dan is very keen to play for Marco here at Fulham, and we’re delighted to have him join the squad as we work to continue the great momentum that the team has started this season with.
‘Come on Fulham!’
Fulham have also shown a lot of confidence in the transfer market, also picking up Carlos Vinicius and Willian in deals on transfer deadline day.
James is Fulham’s tenth signing over the summer, joining Joao Palhinha, Andreas Pereira, Manor Solomon, Kevin Mbabu, Bernd Leno, Shane Duffy and Issa Diop in arriving at Craven Cottage since they were promoted back into the Premier League.
Fulham’s season has started with two wins and two draws from five matches, only narrowly losing to Arsenal on Saturday, with the Gunners on an impressive winning start to the Premier League season.
