Bayern Munich has completed the signing of midfielder João Palhinha from Fulham.
The Portugal international was supposed to move to the Allianz Arena last summer, but a deadline-day transfer fell through when the Cottagers couldn't find a substitute.

Palhinha made 79 appearances for the Cottagers over two seasons, scoring eight times.
