The Serbian international joined the Whites on loan until the end of the season in the January transfer window and impressed, helping his side to secure promotion to the Premier League via the play-offs.
Following Mitrovic’s exploits at Craven Cottage, the Whites have pursued a permanent deal for the player throughout the summer transfer window and have finally secured his signature on a permanent basis.
It’s believed that the two clubs struck an agreement worth £22 million for the former Anderlecht forward, with a deal potentially rising to a figure of £27 million.
Fulham will hope that Mitrovic can replicate the level of performance that he did for the club during what was a hugely successful season in the Championship.
