Fulham have completed the permanent signing of midfielder Manuel Angel from Real Madrid on a three-year contract for an initial fee of £3 million. The move sees the 22-year-old link up with manager Alvaro Arbeloa at Craven Cottage, becoming the third prospect to swap the Santiago Bernabeu for West London during a frantic summer recruitment drive.
