The Serbia striker has returned to Craven Cottage on a five-year contract after the two Premier League clubs agreed an undisclosed fee. Sky Sports claim the deal is worth £27m with £22m paid up front and another possible £5m in add ons.
Mitrovic joined Fulham on loan in January and was instrumental in the club’s promotion back to the Premier League.
The 23-year-old scored 12 goals in 17 appearances as Fulham finished third in the Championship before winning May’s play-off final against Aston Villa at Wembley.
Mitrovic told fulhamfctv: “I’m very glad and happy and proud to finally be here and officially become a Fulham player. I’m happy to the moon and back.
“I have love for the fans. They’re amazing fans and I have a really good connection with them.
This is a big club and last year we made history, we did big things, and I want to continue this. We want to keep making big things, and with all the fans behind us I think we can go far.
