Fulham have signed forward Aboubakar Kamara from Amiens.

Sky Sports News understand the Cottagers have paid a fee in the region of £5.35m to sign the 22-year-old.

"I am delighted to have completed my transfer to Fulham today. Fulham is a club with a fantastic history and tradition, and I'm looking forward to bringing my qualities to help the team and achieve success," Kamara said.
