Today it has been announced that Danish International Leon Andreasen, 24, has signed for Fulham. According to various news papers, the price for the talented Dane is £3 mil, which is three times as much as Werder Bremen paid for his sevices two and a half years ago, when he arrived from highly regarded Danish club Aarhus Gymnastik Forening (AGF), where he was their most praised asset and a result of the club’s highly regarded youth academy.
Leon Andreasen will be joining Fulham, who are currently struggling to find a way out of the dreadful land of relegation. With a number of poor results and the upcoming match home against the current first runners up for the title, Arsenal, Fulham’s season looks to be in dire straits, which appears to be the reason for Fulham’s activity in the ongoing transfer window. Usually January is a window of opportunity mostly for the smaller clubs, because “the big 4″ can rarely find names big enough, who are not cup-tied at this point of the season. Of course Chelsea and Liverpool, in their panic like attempt to remain challengers for the title, are on course to prove this theory wrong, but overall the tendency is clear, and Fulham have followed it quite well with a number of signings already. In addition to Leon Andreasen, Fulham have also today recruited the services of Brede Hangeland, 26, from FC Copenhagen (fee undiscl.). The Norwegian defender is brought in to bolster a defense that has looked a mess all season.
