Fulham announce signing of Leicester star with unrecognisable throwback snap

Fulham have shared an unrecognisable snap of their new signing Timothy Castagne as they unveiled the ex-Leicester City star on Tuesday.

The Belgian has swapped the Midlands for London to the tune of £15million – putting pen-to-paper on a deal that will keep him at Craven Cottage for four years.

And to unveil their new star, Fulham shared a video featuring a snap of a young Castagne at Craven Cottage. The Belgian looked completely different in his younger years, with an unrecognisable hairstyle.

"When you sign a player and a fan," one fan responded with an approving thumbs up. While a second joked: "I’m not having that he came to the Cottage, who photoshopped this!"

After making the switch, Castagne said: "I feel very good. It’s been a long transfer window, but finally, I’m here, and I’m happy to be here.

“It’s a big relief. I’ve talked to the Manager and I just can’t wait to start training and playing.”

Fulham have had a mixed start to the new season, claiming a big win against Everton on the opening day before they were thumped 3-0 at home against Brentford.

Two minutes later Eddie Nketiah fired Arsenal ahead at the Emirates. However, despite going down to ten men, Joao Palhinha netted to claim a vital point for the visitors.
