Everton eye Fulham’s French forward

Everton are reportedly monitoring Fulham’s highly-rated striker Moussa Dembele.

So much so that the recent transfer speculation surrounding the French forward will see the Championship side offer the youngster a new deal in a bid to ward off Premier League interest.

The 19-year-old, who arrived at Craven Cottage from Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain back in 2012, has scored twice in eight appearances so far for Kit Symons’ side this season.

After losing fellow prized asset Patrick Roberts to Manchester City during the summer transfer window, Fulham are hopeful of keeping Dembele by tying him down to a new long-term deal should Everton firm up their interest with a sizeable bid in January.
