Fulham striker Moussa Dembélé has emerged as a transfer target for Italian giants Juventus Turin. The 19-year-old French forward, who is of Malian descent, is under contract with the Championship side until the end of the season, but talks with the Serie A club are reportedly well advanced.
Dembélé has impressed for Fulham this season, scoring nine goals in 22 appearances in the Championship. According to Sky Sports, the striker is in advanced discussions with Juventus, a development that may explain why he recently declined to extend his current contract.
The PSG academy product has also attracted attention from other Premier League clubs, with Everton and Tottenham both reportedly monitoring his situation.
If a move to Juventus materializes, Dembélé would follow in the footsteps of several young talents making the leap from French academies to top European clubs. The Serie A side sees the young striker as a promising prospect who could develop into a first-team regular in the coming seasons.
