The Premier League have issued a punishment to Fulham over a financial payment.

Fulham have been fined £75,000 by the league as a result of a payment made by the Cottagers to Balham Blazers FC.

The payment was a part of the deal that resulted in Fabio Carvalho's move to Liverpool.

Per the league, Fulham "accepted breaches of the Premier League rules in relation to player registrations.'

Fulham "has accepted that the payment of the settlement sum pursuant to the Carvalho agreement and/or settlement agreement are breaches of rule U.38".

The BBC adds that the Premier League has given Fulham a suspended six-month ban "from registering any academy players currently or previously registered with another club."
