Fulham confident of keeping youngster Elliot

Fulham are confident they will be able to keep Harvey Elliot as big clubs continue to monitor the 15-year-old.

West London Sport revealed almost a year ago that Chelsea and Manchester City were showing an interest in the youngster.

The likes of Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund have since been linked with him. [phone]

Elliot, who became Fulham’s youngest-ever player last week, is not eligible for scholarship terms until next July and cannot sign a professional contract until 2020.

But Fulham believe their strong relationship with the player and his family, and a clear pathway laid out to the first team, mean they are in a strong position.

Elliot joined the Whites’ academy in 2013. He has trained with the first team and was included on a pre-season trip to Spain.
