Konstantinos Mitroglou joins Benfica on loan

Fulham striker Konstantinos Mitroglou has joined Benfica on a season-long loan.

The 27-year-old moved to the Cottagers in January 2014 from Olympiacos for a reported fee of £12m.

However, he made just three appearances as the club were relegated from the Premier League and he returned to Olympiacos on loan in August.

He was linked with a return to the Greek club on a permanent basis this summer, after scoring 19 goals last season, but a move failed to materialise.

Mitroglou is a Greek international who has scored eight goals in 40 appearances for his country.
