“A lot of history happened for me, you heard a lot of things about my future, but I’m just focused on Fulham”.

“I always have 100% commitment with this club,” Joao Palhinha said upon the official announcement of his renewal. 

“Since I arrived at Fulham, the affection and connection created will last forever regardless of what happens, that can never be called into question. I am grateful for all the support that the fans have given me since my first official game. And it is with this same strength that my teammates and I are counting on in our next game at our Cottage.”

The Portuguese midfielder was one of the standout performers in the Premier League last season, and helped his side achieve a respectable 10th place finish.
