Fulham sign Timothy Castagne from Leicester
Fulham have signed defender Timothy Castagne from Leicester City on an initial four-year deal.
The 27-year-old arrives at Craven Cottage for an undisclosed fee and has signed a contract that will keep him at the club until 2027, with the option to extend that by a further 12 months.
Castagne will wear the number 21 shirt for Fulham and becomes their fourth signing of the summer, after Calvin Bassey, Raul Jimenez and Adama Traore.
The Belgian international is not expected to feature during this evening's EFL Cup match against Tottenham Hotspur, but could make his Fulham debut when they visit champions Manchester City on Saturday.

PSG 'considering reviving interest in Ndombele'
Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Tanguy Ndombele has allegedly emerged as a surprise transfer target for Paris Saint-Germain.
Ndombele is currently back at the Premier League side after spending the 2023-24 campaign on loan at Napoli, where he won the Serie A title.
The 26-year-old made a total of eight starts and 22 substitute outings in the Italian top flight during his stint in Naples, and there had been suggestions that he could be reintegrated back into the Spurs first-team squad under new head coach Ange Postecoglou.
However, that has not proven to be the case, the Frenchman missing out on a place in the senior ranks for all of the club's friendlies and Premier League fixtures under the Greek-Australian.

Fred confirms Altay Bayindir to Man United move
Former Manchester United midfielder Fred has seemingly confirmed that Fenerbahce goalkeeper Altay Bayindir will soon move to Old Trafford.
Earlier in the summer transfer window, Fred departed the Premier League side to take on a new challenge in Turkey at the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium.
Since then, the 30-year-old has made two appearances for Fenerbahce, but it appears that he will soon be seeing one of his new teammates move in the opposite direction.
United have been in the market for a new goalkeeper all summer, a consequence of David de Gea departing on a free transfer and Dean Henderson being frequently linked with a transfer elsewhere.

Al-Ittihad 'to test Liverpool resolve with £129m Salah bid'
Liverpool are reportedly expected to receive a €150m (£128.7m) offer from Al-Ittihad for Mohamed Salah.
Teams from the Saudi Pro League, particularly those owned by the Public Investment Fund (PIF), have been relentless in their efforts to add star names to the division over the past three months.
Although some high-profile players have rejected the opportunity to move to the Middle East, the likes of N'Golo Kante, Neymar, Sadio Mane and Karim Benzema have joined Cristiano Ronaldo.
More expensive transfers are expected, however, and it has been well documented that there is interest in Salah eventually making the switch to one of the league's top clubs.

Transfer rumours: Ndidi to Bayern, Elvedi to Everton, Guendouzi to Marseille
Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich are reportedly aiming to hijack Nottingham Forest's proposed deal for Leicester City midfielder Wilfred Ndidi.
The Nigeria international has been expected to depart the King Power Stadium following the Foxes' relegation to the Championship and was believed to be on the verge of moving to the City Ground.
However, according to Football Insider, Bayern could throw a late spanner into the works, as Thomas Tuchel's side have also shortlisted Ndidi as a potential midfield target.
The Bavarians are thought to be searching far and wide for a defensive midfielder before Friday's transfer deadline, and Ndidi would be a cheaper alternative to Fulham's Joao Palhinha.
