The Barclays Premier League club announced the deal on Wednesday afternoon after finalising payment details with Boro.

Hughes makes first signing

Fulham have signed Belgium striker Moussa Dembele from AZ Alkmaar on a three-year contract, the Barclays Premier League club announced on Wednesday afternoon.

Dembele, who can also play on the wing, arrives at Craven Cottage for a fee believed to be £5million and has won 28 caps.

"Moussa is strong and quick and will add another dimension to our attacking options," Fulham manager Mark Hughes told the club's official website, www.fulhamfc.com.

Pompey exodus continues

Portsmouth midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng has completed his move to Genoa - ahead of a proposed loan switch to AC Milan.

Cash-strapped Pompey needed the Ghana international, 23, off their books and have confirmed his transfer to the Italian club.

The fee is believed to be around £5million for Boateng, whose penalty against Tottenham helped fire Pompey to last season's FA Cup final.

Chief executive David Lampitt said: "We wish Kevin all the best. He played an important role last season and we thank him for that."

But, bizarrely, Boateng is unlikely to kick a ball for Genoa as they instead plan to loan him to Serie A rivals Milan - who were impressed with his performances at the World Cup - for the season with the option of a permanent deal next summer.

Genoa could then make a healthy profit if he impresses at the San Siro.

Boateng, who arrived at Fratton Park from Spurs in August 2009, scored five goals in 27 appearances.
