Andre Schurrle is due in London on Wednesday for a medical ahead of a switch to Fulham, reports say.

The former Chelsea forward is set to return to the Premier League, three years after quitting Stamford Bridge to join Wolfsburg.

Fulham were in a transfer battle to land Schurrle, who was also wanted by Crystal Palace and AC Milan, according to Sky Sports.

Schurrle has been given permission to leave Dortmund’s pre-season camp in the United States to hold talks with Fulham and is now on the verge of signing for the newly promoted Premier League side.


The 27-year-old joined Dortmund from Wolfsburg in 2016, but is surplus to requirements at the club since the arrival of new boss Lucien Favre.

Fulham have made big moves in the current transfer window ahead of their first season in the top flight since the 2013/14 season.

The Londoners broke their transfer record to lure Nice’s midfield duo Jean Michael Seri and Maxime Le Marchand in a combined £30million deal, and this week signed goalkeeper Fabri for £5m.

Fulham are still in talks to complete a permanent deal for Newcastle striker Aleksandar Mitrovic, who scored 12 goals last season during the Cottagers’ promotion winning campaign.

Newcastle are willing to sell the Serbian, but the clubs remain some way apart in their valuation of Mitrovic.

The Magpies want £18m for Mitrovic, while Fulham have reluctant to offer more than £16m.
