Fulham face a battle to keep hold of youngster Matt O’Riley.
The London Evening Standard says Juventus and Borussia Dortmund are among the leading contenders for O’Riley, who was tracked by Arsenal and Manchester United before signing professional terms with Fulham in November last year.
Shakhtar Donetsk and Valencia are also keen on the playmaker, who can play both in an advanced role and as a deep-lying playmaker.
The 17-year-old, who has a contract to 2020, is considered one of the brightest products in a Fulham academy that has made a habit of producing top prospects both for the Cottagers and elsewhere, with Ryan Sessegnon and Moussa Dembele among those who have gone on to big things.
O’Riley made his senior debut at the age of just 16 and has continued on an impressive trajectory this season, featuring in the first-team’s 3-1 win over Millwall in the EFL Cup.
