Hungarian outfit Fehérvár have signed Fulham’s creative midfielder Kristian Šekularac for an undisclosed fee.

The Swiss under-21 international, who joined the Whites from Juventus in July 2022, scored thirteen goals in 52 appearances for the Whites’ academy side. He had been linked with loan moves within England but has opted to join the Székesfehérvár-based side, who finished fourth in the Hungarian top flight last season.

Šekularac, the great nephew of Yugoslavian legend Dragoslav, will wear the number 28 for Fehérvár, told his new club’s website:

“I had several offers from many different offers from many different countries, but when Fehérvár came with [their] sporting plan for me it was the clear favourite because of the history of the club, the facilities here, their recent success in being able to bring players to the highest level of football. All the conditions came together with me and I was completely convinced by this opportunity.

I learned a lot at Fulham. There were some great coaches there. It’s obviously very quick, very physical. You’ve got to think before you get the ball. It helped me with my overall game, knowing what you need to do physically. I learned many different things.”
