Swedish U21 international Jonah Kusi-Asare is making his move to FC Fulham permanent, with FC Bayern Munich confirming the sale of the young striker. Fulham announced that the 18-year-old has signed a five-year contract, which includes an option for a further season with the English Premier League club.

The transfer fee is reported to be approximately six million euros. Kusi-Asare initially joined Bayern's academy from AIK Solna in early 2024. Last season, the promising forward, who had made two appearances for Bayern's senior team, was already on loan at Fulham, where he evidently impressed the club's management.

Bayern's Sporting Director Max Eberl highlighted Kusi-Asare's development at the club. "Jonah Kusi-Asare came to FC Bayern at the age of 16 and is another example of how we develop international talents at the highest level," Eberl stated. "He was able to convince those responsible at FC Fulham last season, so he will now pursue his next goals there."
