The London boy has been impressing in the Premier League 2 this season, and with his contract only running till 2020 could look for a move if he doesn’t start to see more first-team action.

Fulham’s academy has produced a number of good players over the years, with the obvious example being the brothers Ryan and Steven Sessegnon at this moment in time.

Dortmund have previous when it comes to enticing England’s best young talents to the Bundesliga, signing Jadon Sancho from Manchester City and giving him the platform to showcase his skills and earn a senior England call-up.

Fulham will be keen to keep hold of the playmaker, knowing that he could be of huge value in a few years time.
