Fulham star Joao Palhinha has signed a new contract with the Cottagers this week.

The Portuguese midfielder was eager to leave the club in the summer, with Bayern Munich interested.

However, the deal to take him to Bayern did not go through on deadline day.

Palhinha and midfielder Harrison Reed have both penned new contracts.

"A lot of history happened these few weeks for me, you heard a lot of things about my future, but I'm just focused on my work at Fulham," Palhinha told the club website.

There is still a suggestion that the 28-year-old, should a top club come calling, would decide to leave Fulham in the future.
