Moussa Dembele's agent is reluctant to discuss transfer speculation surrounding the teenage Fulham striker.

The French forward has attracted interest from several clubs after scoring nine goals in 24 Championship appearances for the west Londoners this season.

Standard Sport understands Tottenham have been in discussions with the 19-year-old's representatives for some time and opened talks with Fulham last week.

But Dembele's agent Mamadi Fofana is keen not to openly talk about his client's situation to avoid disrespecting his current club.

He told GetWestLondon: "We will not discuss Moussa's situation publicly out of respect for Fulham."

Dembele has not committed his long-term future to Craven Cottage and is free to discuss his future with other clubs by virtue of the fact his contract expires at the end of the season.

The likes of Manchester United, Monaco, Feyenoord, Borussia Dortmund and Napoli have all shown an interest in the youngster but Mauricio Pochettino's side are considered favourites to secure Dembele's signature.

Fulham are currently under a transfer embargo and the Championship side are unable to sign new players this month as a result.

Loan signings are the only way manager Slavisa Jokanovic can bolster his squad and the Serbian has spoken of his desire not to sell any of Fulham's best players, including Dembele and Ross McCormack.
