Fulham agree £30m deal for Shea Charles; Chalobah moves to Como

According to The Guardian, Fulham have reached an agreement with Southampton for the transfer of Shea Charles. The Premier League club will pay £30m for the Northern Ireland international, who is expected to sign a five-year contract at Craven Cottage once a medical and legal formalities are completed.

Charles was a breakout star of the last Championship season and now strengthens Fulham's midfield. The 21-year-old leaves Southampton after establishing himself as one of the division's most promising young players.

In a separate deal, Trevoh Chalobah has left Chelsea to join Serie A side Como. The defender's move is worth £25.7m, according to The Guardian, as Como continue to build their squad ahead of the new campaign.

Both transfers underline the ongoing summer activity across Europe's major leagues. Readers can find related match highlights from these teams on this site.
