Moussa Dembele will stay at Fulham despite interest of Liverpool

Fulham are hopeful that 17-year-old striker Moussa Dembele will stay at Craven Cottage. The youngster has been prolific for the under 21 side and has attracted the attentions of scouts representing Liverpool and Manchester United.

Dembele has recently forced his way into Martin Jol's first team squad and there are high hopes for the player and that he will soon be playing alongside the likes of Darren Bent and Dimitar Berbatov. Fulham have now told reporters that they are confident they can keep the striker.


Martin Jol said: "Dembele came in two years ago and is still under contract. He’s only 17 now, but he’s strong and scores goals every match. I took him up to the Under 21s already. The boy loves it here. The only thing we’ve got to do is in the next couple of years to keep him here."
