Fulham have signed goalkeeper Sergio Rico on a season-long loan deal from Sevilla.
The 24-year-old has made 170 appearances for Sevilla, winning the Europa League twice, but lost his position as first choice at the tail-end of last season.
The once-capped Spain international was reportedly interesting several Premier League clubs, including Chelsea, before the Blues completed a deal for Kepa Arrizabalaga.
Rico is poised to battle with Fabri, who Fulham signed from Besiktas, and incumbent Marcus Bettinelli, for the No 1 jersey at Craven Cottage.
"I'm very happy, really pleased to have signed for the oldest club in the Premier League," Rico told the club's website.
"I'm excited to start training, to meet all my teammates and, above all, to enjoy the season that starts this Saturday."
