Anthony Knockaert has signed for Fulham from Brighton on a season-long loan.

The winger is set to sign for Fulham permanently, as the deal includes a buy option.

Knockaert was a key member of the Brighton team that gained promotion to the Premier League in 2016/2017.

He netted 27 goals in 159 games for the team, but struggled to maintain a starting spot last term.

"The move is a good one for the club and Anthony," said Brighton manager Graham Potter to the club's official website.

"The wide positions are areas in which we have a lot of competition within the squad.

"I've only worked with Anthony for a short period of time, but that's been a pleasure and he's been very professional and hardworking throughout pre-season."
