Issa Diop started his senior career with hometown club Toulouse
Fulham have signed French defender Issa Diop from West Ham in a £15m deal.
The 25-year-old has agreed a five-year contract with the Cottagers, who are back in the Premier League this season and drew their first game 2-2 against Liverpool on Saturday.
Centre-back Diop made 96 Premier League appearances for the Hammers after joining from French side Toulouse in 2018, scoring six goals.
"I'm very happy, very happy to join Fulham," Diop told FFCtv.
"I hope it's going to be a very good chapter of my career."
Diop signed a five-year contract with West Ham after arriving from Toulouse.
Although initially a first choice, he had been pushed down the pecking order following the arrivals of Kurt Zouma and Craig Dawson at London Stadium.
