Fulham have agreed a deal in principle to sign Fluminense midfielder Andre in the January transfer window, sources have told Football Insider.

It is believed the Cottagers have struck an agreement with the Copa Libertadores winners - with a well-placed source telling Football Insider that it is now up to the 22-year-old to green-light the move.

Fluminense's Serie A season has now concluded and Andre has the opportunity to make a good first impression against English opponents in the Club World Cup final against Man City on Friday night (22 December).

The Brazillian giants are ready to part with the defensive midfielder in January, and the player himself has already indicated that a move to the Premier League would be a "dream".

He has made 60 appearances across all competitions in 2023, scoring one goal.

The midfielder has also recently broken into the senior Brazil squad and played 90 minutes in their recent qualifiers against Colombia and Argentina.

Andre's contract at the Maracana runs until 2026 after he signed an extension earlier this year - but he is now set to make a move to the Premier League in January.

Fulham are expected to be active in the January transfer window as they look to build on their encouraging recent form.

Marco Silva's side sit 11th in the Premier League and will play Liverpool in the League Cup semi-finals in January.
