FULHAM have signed Leicester City's Belgian international full-back Timothy Castagne.<\/p>\n
Marco Silva will be delighted to have fought off interest from Juventus and Arsenal to bring the experienced right-back to Craven Cottage.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Fulham will pay an initial fee of around \u00a312.5million which will quickly\u00a0rise to \u00a314million once Castagne has played an agreed number of games this season.<\/p>\n
That could rise to \u00a315million if Castagne is a success and holds down a place in Silva's side.<\/p>\n
The attacking right-back has yet to make an appearance for the Foxes under their new boss Enzo Maresca,\u00a0who has played Ricardo Pereira instead.<\/p>\n
However Castagne will add a wealth of experience to Fulham after making more than 100 appearances for Leicester City under Brendan Rodgers, scoring five goals in\u00a0112 matches, including one on his debut in 2020.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He was a provider during his time at the King Power too with seven Premier League assists to his name.<\/p>\n
Castagne becomes the Fulham\u2019s fourth signings of the summer as they look to improve on last season\u2019s 10th place finish. <\/p>\n
They have already welcomed the arrivals of Calvin Bassey, Raul Jimenez and Adama Traore. <\/p>\n
They\u2019ve also seen one significant exit with star man Aleksandar Mitrovic leaving the club for Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal in a \u00a343million deal.<\/p>\n
