Fulham are open to letting teenage striker Moussa Dembele leave the club this month, putting Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United and Liverpool on high alert.
Dembele, with 11 goals in 26 games this season for The Cottagers, has attracted admiring glances from Premier League sides, including Pochettino’s Spurs who could use Dembele as back-up to Harry Kane.
With his contract set to expire in the summer, it’s highly unlikely Dembele will sign an extension at Craven Cottage, meaning Fulham will look to sell the forward this month.
But according to The Express, Fulham will let the former Paris Saint-Germain prodigy leave The Whites, on the condition they’re allowed to keep Dembele on loan for the rest of the season.
Fulham’s insistence to those terms may not be in the best interests of Tottenham, as Kane is currently the club’s only fit senior striker, with Heung-Min Son filling in the role on occasion.
However, with interest from other sides in the France Under 20 international, Pochettino may allow Dembele to return to Fulham to continue his development and receive more playing time unless a bigger fee may be struck between the two sides for Dembele to leave The Whites for good.
