Brighton winger Anthony Knockaert has formally completed his permanent move to Fulham.
The French winger has spent this season on an initial loan from Albion.
But it has always been anticipated that it would become a full transfer.
Albion head coach Graham Potter said: “The move has worked out well for Anthony, and I would like to wish him well for the remainder of the season and for the future.
“There’s no doubting his contribution to this club, as part of the promotion-winning team in 2017, and those first two seasons in the Premier League.
“On behalf of everyone at the club, I would like to thank him for his achievements.”
The last of Knockaert’s 27 goals for the Seagulls was his memorable winner at Crystal Palace last season.

Tony Khan added: “I’m pleased to announce that we’ve exercised our option to convert Anthony Knockaert’s loan agreement to a permanent, and now Anthony will be with us at Fulham for the future!

“Anthony plays hard at both ends, and he brings great quality and competitiveness to our squad. He’s scored and assisted important goals for us, and last night he made a huge block in stoppage time in our win at Nottingham Forest; I’m thrilled Anthony’s staying with us!
“Come on Fulham!”
