Fulham have signed German World Cup-winning forward Andre Schurrle on loan from Borussia Dortmund.

The 27-year old former Chelsea player will join the Craven Cottage side for the next two seasons.

Schurrle won the World Cup with Germany in 2014 but did not make the squad for this summer's tournament.

"I can't wait to get started," he said. "I have to fight for my place and I have to show my quality so that I can be a member who really helps the team."

Schurrle played for Chelsea from 2013-15 and won a Premier League winners medal in 2015 despite leaving the club for Wolfsburg part-way through the season. He has been at Dortmund since July 2016 and has 57 caps for Germany.

    In a current crazy transfer market, this deal is very shrewd. World Cup winner, still only 27 and will be hungry to prove he can play in the Prem. Great signing for Fulham!

    Under the radar loan signing and on the face of it a potentially very shrewd one too. Good age, excellent experience and with a point to prove. It's virtually a no lose scenario for Fulham

    wish Everton had signed him, would be more value for money than what we paid for certain players over the last year. Good luck Fulham

    Solid signing. If they get Mitrovic on a permanent deal I think they should have enough firepower to stay up

    Fulham look to be putting together a decent side and with Jokanovic's attacking style, they could be good to watch.

    Very good signing. Impressed with the ambition shown by Fulham and Wolves. Would be great to see them do well, and for Cardiff, lead by that awful man Warnock, to be relegated with a record for fewest points.

    Realistically Fulham are not going to attract really top level players but Shurrle has shown in the past he is a quality player. If he can replicate his Chelsea form it could be an excellent piece of business for them.

    One of the best pieces of business done in this transfer window

    What a good signing, very shrewd by Fulham. Schürrle has the potential to be one of the best in the PL.

    Well done guys - cracking signing! Let’s see Fulham and Wolves upset the apple cart this season!

    11 games plus 7 as sub for dortmund last season , only 1 goal but 4 assists and 2 man of the matches so he retains his ability , his best performances were as a left sided attacking midfielder,
    fulham usually play 4-3-3 so sessegnon can continue in his left sided forward role . good luck to all the promoted clubs.

    He may have blown a bit hold and cold in recent years but he is a good professional. A good influence on the many talented young players at Fulham on and off the pitch.

    He probably feels he has a point to prove and may see this as an opportunity to do that. I don't know if it will work out but Fulham's owner can afford this deal.

    If he's so great why are they loaning him out for 2 years? A player in supposedly his peak years.

    He was a good player 3 or 4 years ago, anyone who has seen him recently will understand why Dortmund have done this

    Good luck to him though.

    Another Chelsea throw away, that will probably become good.

    As a Chelsea fan who was sorry to see him leave I think this is a great move by Fulham who I think will do well this Year

    Fulham just need to survive a season before moving into the Khan Dafabet Wembley Sports Dome to play alongside the London Silly Nannies NFL side. Then they will attract star names.

    Surprised how he has dropped at Dortmund by then wonder how many of these appearances were just as late sub. Should be good for Fulham as has experience of prem and bundesliga so should be good leader on and off pitch. Hopefully can keep Sessignon from city on the bench at city or checlsea

    just read his last 2 seasons have been poor with last season described as abject with 1 goal in 25 games explains a loan move.
