Crystal Palace defender Andersen: London feeling like home

Crystal Palace defender Joachim Andersen admits he feels at home in London.

Andersen signed permanently for Palace from Lyon this past summer, having spent last season on-loan with Fulham.

He told Bold: "I think I have fallen really well. I feel it was a bit like coming home in a way because I know London now after my Fulham time, I know the league.

"This is my first switch, where I actually switched to the same league, so it, I really think, has been very nice that I know it all. I feel comfortable and the coach has been really good to me and the players are some class guys."

In addition to being a city that Andersen knows, there are also many other Danes living in the big city, and the 25-year-old central defender says that he enjoys it.

"Yes, it's absolutely fantastic. It's something I have not tried before, the places I have been. Pierre-Emile Højbjerg, Andreas 'AC' Christensen, Christian Nørgaard and Mathias Jensen and so on we see eachother a lot, and our girlfriends also see eachother across the board."
