    Fabricio Agosto Ramirez from Besiktas for an undisclosed fee, Known as Fabri .
    Only conceded 30 goals in his 34 league outings as Besiktas finished fourth last season.
    I'm hoping that Bettinelli will keep his place as No.1 as he was part of our unbeaten run, but that remains to be seen as Fabri is well known to Fulham’s Goalkeeping Coach Jose Sambade Carreira, who he worked closely with at Deportivo de la Coruna.

    Maxime Le Marchand from OGC Nice Brings some much needed height to the defence for corners and free-kicks, and his main position is Centre Back, but is a good utility player able to play Left Back.

    Jean Michaël Seri Ivory Coast international joined Fulham on a four-year deal from OGC Nice. A creative, intelligent central midfield player, who many Champions League teams had enquired about including Barcelona. Seri top the charts in Ligue 1 in terms of passes played and completed, which should suit Fulham's style of play.

    André Schürrle joined on a two-season loan deal from Borussia Dortmund. Has played in the Premier League with Chelsea, has an impressive 57 caps to his name for Germany, in which he’s scored 22 goals. Can play right & left midfield, also in attack.

    Aleksandar Mitrović has signed to Fulham after last season proving to be the perfect fit for Fulham, scoring 12 times in just 17 starts to help the team reach Wembley and gain promotion. Will be our main striker and already has a partnership with Ryan Sessegnon and Cairney. He should be a handful for Premier defences and has kerbed his bad temper to good effect under Jokanovic.

    Alfie Mawson has signed from Swansea City. The 24-year-old centre-back has signed a four-year deal, tying him to Fulham until at least the summer of 2022. Played 44 times for Swansea in the Premier and scored 3 goals. I'd rather he played Defensive Midfield as he seems a loose cannon charging up field, leaving defensive holes at the back.

    Calum Chambers centre-back from Arsenal on a season-long loan deal. This was a player Fulham had tried to sign at the beginning of the transfer window, but he signed a new contract with Arsenal having been told he was part of their plans, now they let him go on loan. In the 2017 European Championship where England reached the Semi-Finals he formed a strong central defensive partnership with Alfie Mawson.

    Sergio Rico on loan from Sevilla. The 24-year-old goalkeeper has agreed a loan deal which keeps him at Craven Cottage until the end of the 2018/19 season. Not sure of the reason for this signing, but rumours were Bettinelli is either injured or being loaned!!! Why?

    Joe Bryan from Bristol City for an undisclosed fee. The left-back has signed a four-year-deal with Fulham, with a Club option to extend by a further year. This is the left back we needed to release Ryan Sessegnon to midfield. We'd been after Bryan since early July, but were hoping Targett would be resigned but Southampton refused to sell.

    Luciano Vietto from Atletico Madrid on a season-long loan. 24 year old who plays attacking midfield rather than a main Striker. From what I've seen he looks like a Right-Footed Tom Cairney but whether he can step up and do the same in the Premier, have to wait and see.

    Timothy Fosu-Mensah from Manchester United on a season loan, 20 year old Netherlands international right-back who can also operate centrally or in defensive midfield. Played for Palace last season and by all accounts is a good tackler and breaks up play.

    André-Frank Zambo Anguissa for an undisclosed fee from Olympique de Marseille. The 22-year-old midfielder has penned a five-year-deal with Fulham, subject to a work permit being granted. An imposing defensive midfield player, plays for Cameroon.

    All accounts been really decent, especially against Burnley. Seems to suit our style, where we need overlapping, quick full backs. Looks really promising and like he’ll be first choice

    If you’re ever short in the middle of midfield he can slot in there too. He’s a hell of an athlete, I’m very disappointed we’ve loaned him out again in all honesty he could’ve got proper minutes here this season with everything that’s going on

    We seem to have enough cover in the middle to be fair.

    That said, impressed with his start here so long may it continue
