Fulham owner Tony Khan has taken to Twitter to share his thoughts on the Cottagers’ three deadline day signings.

Scott Parker’s side moved to secure the signatures of Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Joachim Andersen and Tosin Adarabioyo to give themselves the best possible chance of survival.

Loftus-Cheek joins on a season-long loan deal, as does Danish defender Andersen, while a permanent deal has been completed for Adarabioyo, who joins from Manchester City as Sky Sports revealed.

On the capture of Loftus-Cheek, Khan wrote: ‘I’m thrilled to announce the arrival of @RLC to @FulhamFC on loan. Ruben’s a world-class player in the prime of his career, he’s earned great Premier League experience, & we believe he’ll be so valuable to our Club in our fight ahead of us! Come on Fulham!’

Elsewhere, speaking about Adarabioyo, the club’s owner said: ‘I’m very excited to announce the addition of @TosinAdarabioyo to @FulhamFC on a transfer from @ManCity! Tosin’s received positive ratings from our data team + coaches, & most importantly Tosin himself badly wanted to join us & he’ll come in and fight for our Club! Come on Fulham!’

Lastly, when discussing Anderson, Khan said: ‘I’m thrilled to announce the arrival of Joachim Andersen to @FulhamFC on loan from Lyon. He was a top target for us, we worked hard to bring him here & it’s so great that he’s joined us & that he wants to help us fight to maintain our status in the Premier League! Come on Fulham!’

The Cottagers find themselves without a point after four Premier League games of the season, having scored just three goals while conceding a whopping 11.

Parker has a real job on his hands to keep Fulham in the top-flight, although these three signings – notably the defenders – should boost the club’s chances tremendously.

After all, the likes of Tottenham, Manchester United, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid were keen on signing Andersen last summer according to Calcio Napoli 24.

In that respect, Fulham may have landed a coup.

Additionally, Loftus-Cheek was part of Gareth Southgate’s 2018 World Cup squad, and is a player of real pedigree, so Khan can pat himself on the back for his deadline day business.
