Fulham hijacked Joe Bryan's £6million move to Aston Villa to complete an 11th-hour signing of the left-back.
The Craven Cottage club had grown frustrated in their attempts to sign Southampton's Matt Targett and made enquiries for Bryan initially last month.
Aston Villa were in pole position to sign Bryan and he underwent a medical at Villa Park on Wednesday, but the Championship side lost out when Fulham emerged as late suitors.
Bryan though has indicated to Villa he would like the chance to play in the Premier League and Fulham improved their offer.
The 24-year-old was a standout performer in last year's Championship and impressed against Manchester City and Manchester United in the Carabao Cup.
Cameroon international midfielder Anguissa was due to fly in from France on Wednesday ahead of talks with Fulham boss Slavisa Jokanovic keen to add extra bite to his team.
Jokanovic has seen Andre Schurrle, Alfie Mawson, Jean Michael Seri, Aleksandar Mitrovic, and most recently, Arsenal defender Calum Chambers all arrive this summer but still wants to strengthen the spine of his team.
Jokanovic ideally wants greater experience wary that his young squad could suffer with nerves on the Premier League stage. Fulham though have been keen to invest in youth.
