Greek international striker Kostas Mitroglou has completed a permanent transfer to Benfica from English second-tier side Fulham, the Portuguese champions announced on Tuesday.

Mitroglou, who has scored 22 goals in 43 games in all competitions this season, is set to feature for Benfica in Friday's League Cup final against Maritimo.

The former Olympiakos player helped Benfica secure a third consecutive Portuguese title, and 35th in all, with a 4-1 home win against Nacional on the final day of the league season on Sunday.
