Fulham have secured the signing of a young goalkeeper ahead of the transfer window closing.

The Craven Cottage club have signed German goalkeeper Steven Benda from Swansea City.

The 24-year-old had been with Swansea for the past six years, joining in August 2017.

Benda is likely to serve as the club's no.2 behind Bernd Leno, with Marek Rodak also offering competition.

"I'm really happy. It's a massive club with a lot of history and tradition, so I'm really happy to be here," he stated after signing for Fulham.

"Just look at this stadium, and the club itself, playing for Marco Silva, it was a very easy decision."
