FulhamOn bench Saturday
Angel (not injury related) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Crystal Palace.
Analysis: Angel earned a spot in the squad after completing his move to Fulham from Real Madrid, with coach Alvaro Arbeloa including him among the substitutes. The 22-year-old reunites with Arbeloa, who gave him his first taste of LaLiga and Champions League action last season, and a bench role represents a logical first step in his integration at his new club.
Needs time to integrate
Angel (not injury related) is set to need more time before becoming an starting option for Fulham, according to coach Alvaro Arbeloa, per Jack Kelly of the Fulhamish Podcast.
Analysis: Angel recently completed his move to Fulham from Real Madrid, reuniting with manager Alvaro Arbeloa, who gave him his first taste of LaLiga and Champions League action last season. Still just 22 years old, he figures to compete for a rotational role in holding midfield alongside options like Alex Iwobi, Sander Berge and Josh King once fully integrated with his new club.
Heading to Fulham
Angel has transferred to Fulham from La Liga squad Real Madrid for the 2026/27 season, according to the team.
Analysis: Angel will reunite with coach Alvaro Arbeloa, who gave him his first minutes of La Liga and UCL action last season. At 22 years old, the midfielder is still a young prospect who could eventually find a role in the rotation with Alex Iwobi, Sander Berge and Josh King. While Angel may serve as more of a defensive option in holding midfield, he could get a few minutes and rack up passes and recovery stats if he plays.
