Player description
On 25 July 2011 Kasami signed for Fulham on a four-year deal for an undisclosed fee, believed to be around the figure of £3.5million, in the aftermath of a rejection of a former £3.2million offer.
Fulham manager Martin Jol has lauded new signing Pajtim Kasami as a "great talent".
Pajtim Kasami made his debut for Fulham as a late substitute in the 0-0 draw in their Europa League clash with RNK Split.
He was later in the starting line versus FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk on the 19 August 2011, playing for 88 minutes and was greatly involved in the set up of all the 3 goals.
The 22-year-old Swiss midfielder, signed from Italian club Palermo in 2011, struggled to establish himself as a first-team regular at Craven Cottage.
After ending the 2012-13 campaign on loan at Lucerne, he returned to Fulham and scored the winner in their opening-day victory at Sunderland. Manager Martin Jol revealed Kasami took a fifty per cent cut of his wage to stay at the club.
He also netted a brilliant goal in a 4-1 win at Crystal Palace, but the season ended in relegation.
Kasami made a total of 55 appearances for the west London club, scoring three goals. It was announced on 9 July 2014 that Kasami had signed for Olympiacos for a fee of ?5 million.
Kasami then took to his official Instagram account to thank Fulham for their support over the past three years:
Writing on his official Instagram account, Kasami said: "I would like to thank everyone at Fulham Football Club for their great support, especially to all the fans who have been incredible over the last 3 years
I've been here.
"I wish you all the success in the future."
