As one of the most productive and effective academy set-ups in the country, Fulham have developed a reputation for promoting from within and offering first team opportunities for bright up and coming talents.

Fulham have a very clear philosophy in which they produce players who are capable of rising through the academy ranks into the first team set-up.

This has seen thirty Fulham academy graduates make their senior debut since the 2011/12 season.

The impressive feat has included a number of academy graduates who have grown to become household names including French striker Moussa Dembele, who has gone on to play in the Champions League with Scottish Champions Celtic after an impressive season with Fulham.

Another example is 16-year-old full-back Ryan Sessegnon, who has been one of the standout performers for Fulham this season and has attracted the attention of a number of Premier League sides - the promising left back has made twelve Championship appearances for Slavisa Jokanovic's side.

Slavisa Jokanovic has not been afraid to turn to the academy to further bolster his squad and he may look to do so again as he looks to add further depth and quality to his squad for the season half of the season.

This article looks at TWO wonderkids who could emerge for Fulham in the second half of the season...

Luca De la Torre

Luca De La Torre is one the most highly rated starlets coming out of Fulham's academy.

De La Torre was offered the opportunity to train with Fulham's senior side during their pre-season tour.

The 18-year-old American midfielder has been one of the standout performers for Fulham's under-23 side, having scored twice already this season from the advanced midfield position.

As well as a string of impressive performances for the under-23s, De La Torre made his senior debut in Fulham's 3-2 victory over Leyton Orient in the first round of the EFL Cup.

Slavisa Jokanovic was impressed by the American play-maker who stood out amongst the crowd as he pulled the strings against the League 2 side.

After such an impressive performance earlier in the season, Slavisa Jokanovic may call on the United States under-20 international once again.

If he is given the opportunity, he could be one of the emerging stars for Fulham in the second half of the season.

Dennis Adeniran

Dennis Adeniran has followed a similar route to De La Torre as Adeniran joined up with Fulham's first team pre-season camp in the summer.

The 18-year-old central midfielder also went on to make his debut in the EFL Cup victory over Leyton Orient with Adeniran opening the scoring for Fulham.

Adeniran has been one of the most impressive players in the Premier League 2 competition which was formerly the Under-21 Premier League.

The starlet has four goals and an assist in seven Premier League 2 appearances which is a particularly impressive feat from the deeper midfield position.

With all the physical attributes needed to be a success in the Championship, Adeniran could soon be the next academy graduate to breakthrough and become a household name for Fulham, if he is given a chance by Slavisa Jokanovic.
