FULHAM have signed Wolfsburg and Switzerland right-back Kevin Mbabu in a deal worth £6.4million.
The Cottagers, who secured their return to the Premier League after winning the Championship last season, have agreed a three-year deal for the defender with the option of a further 12 months.

He then joined Swiss side Young Boys, before most recently spending three seasons at Wolfsburg.
And Mbabu is excited to return to England's top flight as Fulham look to avoid another immediate relegation back down to the second tier.
Speaking to FFCtv, he said: "I’m happy to be here as a Fulham Football Club player.
