Nice midfielder Jean Michael Seri has declined a move to Chelsea, with the Ivorian midfielder sealing a move to Fulham today.
The midfielder joins the Cottagers in a deal worth around £25 million according to reports, with Fulham owner Shahid Kahn announcing the deal on twitter today.

The deal is a real sign of intent from Khan, who also owns the Jacksonville Jaguars NFL franchise and was interested in a bid for Wembley stadium.
Seri had been a target for the Blues, with the club trying hard to get the midfielder to join Chelsea.
The midfielder was a key part of the Nice midfield last season, making 29 appearances as Nice went on to finish eighth in Ligue 1 last season.
Seri has opted to play regularly in the Premier League for Fulham, rather than a move to Chelsea.
