Fulham are reportedly confident of keeping youngster Harvey Elliott at the club despite interest from England and Europe’s elite.
Westlondonsport.com write that Elliott, 15, made his first-team debut in last week’s 3-1 Carabao Cup victory over Millwall.
The youngster, who plays in an attacking midfield role, became the club’s youngest ever player at just 15 years and 174 days old when he replaced Floyd Ayite in the 81st minute at the Den last Tuesday.
The Teenager has been continually linked with a move away over the past year, with English clubs Chelsea and Manchester City reportedly keen as well European giants Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund.
However, the Cottagers are hopeful that the player’s affinity with the club and the fact there is a clear pathway to the first-team will persuade him to sign scholarship terms next year and then a professional deal a year later.
Manager Slavisa Jokanovic has been known to trust in youth since arriving at Craven Cottage, with the primary case being winger Ryan Sessegnon who picked up treble honours at last season’s Championship awards evening.
The player first joined the senior squad when he was included in the Summer trip to Spain.
