Transfers: Charles Joins Fulham in £30m Deal

Fulham have beaten several Premier League rivals for the 22-year-old midfielder, whose £26 million deal could rise to £30 million with add-ons.

  • On Monday, Premier League club Fulham scheduled a medical for Southampton midfielder Shea Charles ahead of a transfer deal worth up to £30 million, including an upfront fee of £26m.
  • Fulham targeted the 22-year-old to replace Sasa Lukic, who joined Ipswich Town last week, after Southampton rejected multiple offers from Leeds United earlier this summer.
  • New Fulham manager Alvaro Arbeloa secured the midfielder following his appointment earlier this summer, having previously signed striker Gonzalo Garcia and midfielder Cesar Palacios from Real Madrid.
  • Charles will sign a five-year contract, becoming the most expensive Northern Irish footballer of all time, having developed at Manchester City before his time at Southampton and Hillsborough.
  • The Cottagers face German club Stuttgart on Saturday, August 15, before their Premier League opener against Chelsea on Monday, August 24, following Charles's farewell appearance against Colchester United.
