The London club „Fulham“, returning to the „Premier“ league, introduced the first newcomer this summer. „The Whites“ officially announced that they have acquired 26-year-old defensive midfielder Joao Palhinha from the „Sporting“ team. „The Premier“ league has always been my dream. I am more than happy, and Marco Silva was the main factor why I joined the „Fulham“ team - he knows me and my skills very well“, said the Portuguese who joined the „Fulham“ team. J. Palhinha was a crucial part of the team for the past two seasons, when the „Sporting“ team triumphed in the Portuguese championship after a long time. In the last four seasons, the defensive midfielder scored 8 goals and made 3 assists, representing the „Braga“ team before that. „Fulham“ paid 22 million euros for the 26-year-old Portuguese, including bonuses. #TheJoãoFactor 🇵🇹 pic.twitter.com/Yqih2b9fBn - Fulham Football Club (@FulhamFC) July 4, 2022
