Fulham have always had a good reputation for bringing through talented youngsters, with Ryan Sessegnon being the most recent example to make it to the top level.

The club have category one academy status - the highest level attainable, with Fulham's under-18 side currently competing in the top-tier Premier League competition for that age group.

That has seen many players progress through the system into the club's first-team squad as a result. Marek Rodak and Steven Sessegnon are two players that have come through the ranks at the club to have made league appearances for Fulham this season.

However, with the abundance of quality that Scott Parker's side has in the first-team at Craven Cottage, it has proved harder for the younger players to gain first-team experience at the club.

Here we look at three youngsters currently on Fulham's books that would benefit from a loan spell this January...

QUIZ: Do you know where these 15 ex-Fulham players are playing now?

Luca De La Torre

The 21-year-old joined Fulham in 2013 from Californian youth side San Diego Surf. He then spent a total of three years in the Cottagers' youth setup.

Despite making his professional debut for the club back in 2016, the USA international has found it difficult to break into the Fulham's first-team, making just 12 senior appearances in three seasons.

Although the attacking midfielder came off the bench against Preston on Tuesday night, a loan spell may be in his best interests to improve his development.

Magnus Norman

The 22-year-old has been at the West London club since the age of nine, and spent time on loan at League One side Rochdale during the first half of the 2018-19 season.

The goalkeeper has yet to make his first-team debut for the club, and is currently behind Marek Rodak and Marcus Bettinelli in the pecking order.

Norman should use Marek Rodak as an inspiration, as the Slovakian spent time on loan at five different clubs before eventually getting his chance as Fulham's first-choice goalkeeper this season.

Tayo Edun

The 21-year-old wide midfielder has made seven appearances in total for Fulham during his career, and was part of England's successful under-19 side at the European Championships in 2017.

He also spent time on loan at Ipswich Town last season, making seven further appearances for the Tractorboys in the Championship.

Edun is a talented player, and would benefit from another loan spell either in the Championship or in League One. He is currently featuring for Fulham's under-23 side in the Premier League 2 second division competition.
