German players at Fulham[]
To date, there have been a total of sixteen German players to have been at Fulham, with five of these having represented Germany at full international level. Ten of the players have played for Fulham's first team, and six others have been at the club without making a first team appearance.
Perhaps the most popular German player to have been at Fulham was Moritz Volz, a right back who joined in 2003 under Chris Coleman in the Premier League and made close to 150 appearances. Never one to give less than 100%, he was very much a fan favourite during his time at Craven Cottage.
World Cup winner André Schürrle played for the club on loan in the 2018-19 season on loan from Borussia Dortmund, but despite glimpses of class, his stay was underwhelming and did not prevent the side from relegation to the Championship.
First team[]
The following is a list of German players who have played at least one appearance for Fulham's first team.
