Fulham are looking to bring in some Premier League pedigree with the signing of former Chelsea star Andre Schurrle. The Borussia Dortmund forward has fond memories of his time in the Capital where he won the Premier League with Chelsea in the 2014-15 season. It is hard to believe that the player is still only 27, with the experience he had already accumulated before his move to Chelsea and now with a number of seasons in Germany.
Schurrle set for medical with Fulham today
The German international is due to have a medical at the newly promoted club today, with Fulham set to beat a number of top clubs who were also in the race for his signature.
Schurrle brings a huge amount of experience and quality to the Fulham team that could be an exciting prospect in the Premier league next season. With young prodigy Ryan Sessegnon due to stay at the club, the surprise capture of Jean Michael Seri and now Schurrle joining them, this team is shaping up nicely. They could be the surprise package in the upcoming season.
Fulham look like a team relishing their chance back in the Premier League
Usually promoted teams are the favourites to go back down but if Fulham add a few more top quality signings like Seri and Schurrle to their squad, they could be doing a lot more than fighting relegation in May. The team were fantastic in the Championship and their style of play gained a lot of admiration.
Andre Schurrle will be a great signing for Fulham and manager Slavisa Jokanovic is not just doing the standard recruitment strategy that promoted teams often resort to – the one where they simply buy relegated players. In Schurrle, they have a player that has proven himself at the top level and in Sessegnon, they have a young talent that is on his way to the very top level.
