Bayern Munich have finally confirmed the signing of midfielder João Palhinha from Fulham.
The Portugal international was originally set to move to the Allianz Arena last summer but a deadline day switch collapsed as the Cottagers could not source a replacement.
In both of his seasons with Fulham, Palhinha recorded the most tackles of any player in the Premier League and has long been a target for Bayern.
Now Bayern have succeeded at a second time of asking, sealing a deal worth a reported €51m with €5m in future add-ons.
Palhinha made 79 appearances for the Cottagers during a two-season spell, scoring eight times.
