Fulham are set to approach young striker Moussa Dembele about a new contract as they look to tie down the 19-year-old amid interest from the Premier League, reports HITC.

The French youth international has been impressive for Kit Symons side this season, scoring three times in his 12 appearances so far this season. Matt Smith has been missing through injury and Dembele has stepped up well to as the Cottagers look to push for promotion.

Dembele's contract expires at the end of the current season so handing him a new long term deal will no doubt be near the top of Symons' priorities as the 6ft forward has already attracted interest from the Premier League, most notably Everton.

The 19-year old will be keen to test himself in the Premier League so it will be up to his manager to convince him that Fulham will be able to return to the top flight soon, if he has any hopes of keeping a player who is so highly-rated at the club.

Fulham currently sit in 13th position in the Sky Bet Championship table, and have endured a mixed start to their 2015/16 campaign, which has seen them win three times, draw three times, and lose four times.
