New Fulham signing admits it was a 'very easy decision' to swap Swansea City for The Cottagers

The 24-year-old German has agreed a deal until the summer of 2026, with the Premier League club holding an option to extend by a further year.

“It’s a massive club with a lot of history and tradition, so I’m really happy to be here,” Benda told FFCtv.

“Just look at this stadium, and the club itself, playing for (manager) Marco Silva, it was a very easy decision.”

Benda joined Swansea from 1860 Munich in August 2017 and had loan spells at Swindon and Peterborough.

He made 23 appearances for the Welsh club last season, with a knee injury in January cutting short his campaign.

Fulham’s director of football operations Tony Khan said: “He is a talented young goalkeeper, and while he’s currently recovering from injury, we’ve monitored him for some time and believe that he will be a valuable addition to Marco’s squad upon his return.”
