One wonders if Spurs won't get him on board by offering a loan or three from their reserve ranks. Surely there's a package of talent that can give Fulham what they need to stay up.

Moussa Dembele has passed a Tottenham medical and has finalised the terms of cut-price move from Fulham, Football Insider sources understand.
As exclusively revealed here, the 19-year-old was permission by the Londoners to undergo a Spurs medical on Saturday after the two clubs agreed a deal.
A Tottenham source has told Football Insider that the club will pay an initial £1.7million plus add-ons for the young striker.
It's not just Sky sources saying it's a loan back....Hmm and no mention at any point by these football insiders or our itk that he will be loaned back. These FI seem close to the deal what with them announcing the medical first and now the fee?
Could sky sources be wrong on this. Could it be the final thing to be decided in the next couple of days, dependent on loan players etc?
I assumed everyone else pretty much just ran with what sky said.
I'm not convinced, I didn't think Sky was one of the first to break it anyway. But either way, I hope you're right....I assumed everyone else pretty much just ran with what sky said.
I think when Poch has stated he has adequate cover in Son and Chadli he wasn't just saying this for the sake of it, and probably would be of benefit to all parties if he was playing at Fulham. I doubt he'd feature much this season for us but would be reassuring to know we have another striking option on the bench....It makes sense to loan him back imo, this is his first season of proper football. Let him finish the season playing every game for Fulham and have a full pre-season with us. It worked out well with Alli!
It might mean that we sign another striker as well, unless Poch think Son and Chadli can cover Kane.

Do Fulham even pick him that much? Thought he was on the bench alot
