Fulham have announced the permanent signing of striker Jonah Kusi-Asare from Bayern Munich, securing the 18-year-old on a five-year contract with an option for an additional year. The move follows a successful loan spell for Kusi-Asare at Fulham during the 2025/26 season, prompting the Premier League club to exercise their option to acquire him permanently for a reported fee of €6 million.
Kusi-Asare expressed his delight at joining Fulham on a full-time basis, stating he felt immediately welcomed into the club. He praised the atmosphere within the changing room, highlighting the positive relationships with both teammates and staff. The Sweden youth international will be looking to establish himself as a regular member of Marco Silva’s squad.
Kusi-Asare progressed through the Bayern Munich academy, demonstrating promising potential as a goalscorer. While he didn’t make a senior appearance for the Bundesliga champions, the loan to Fulham provided him with valuable experience in a competitive league. He will now hope to build on that experience and contribute to Fulham’s attacking options.
According to Bild, Bayern Munich have included a buyback clause in the deal, allowing them to potentially re-sign Kusi-Asare in the future. This suggests the German club retain a high opinion of the young forward and believe he could develop into a key player. The inclusion of a buyback option could also be seen as a way for Bayern to mitigate any future regret should Kusi-Asare flourish in the Premier League.
Fulham have been active in the transfer market this summer, seeking to strengthen their squad ahead of the upcoming season. The addition of Kusi-Asare provides further depth in attack and offers a long-term solution in the forward positions. This transfer represents a significant opportunity for the young Swede to showcase his talent on a larger stage and contribute to Fulham's ambitions.
