DONE DEAL: Fulham sign permanently Brighton attacker Anthony Knockaert

Fulham have signed permanently on-loan Brighton attacker Anthony Knockaert.

The French winger moved to Craven Cottage on loan last July and has scored three goals for the club in the Championship this season.

Knockaert has signed a deal until summer 2023 with an option for a further 12 months.

The 28-year-old told the club's website: "I'm happy to continue the adventure with Fulham for three more years. I'm really excited for the remainder of this season and hopefully we can achieve our goal of being promoted to the Premier League.

"I've had a good time here since I joined the club and I'm looking forward to the future."

Brighton manager Graham Potter said: "The move has worked out well for Anthony, and I would like to wish him well for the remainder of the season and for the future.

"There's no doubting his contribution to this club, as part of the promotion-winning team in 2017, and those first two seasons in the Premier League.

"On behalf of everyone at the club, I would like to thank him for his achievements."
