Juventus & Borussia Dortmund Among Leading Contenders to Sign Fulham Prodigy Matt O’Riley

Juventus and Borussia Dortmund are the frontrunners among a group of European heavyweights who are tracking Fulham's teenage midfielder Matt O’Riley, according to reports.

The 17-year-old is one of the brightest prospects in the club's distinguished academy and he has already stepped up into Slaviša Jokanoviu0107's first team, making three appearances during the league cup since the start of last season.

The England Under-18 international, who would also be eligible to play for Denmark, has a contract at Craven Cottage until 2020 and so far few attempts have been made to extend his current deal.

However, Standard Sport reports that Fulham have caught wind of Juventus' interest, and this could prompt the club to step up their renewal efforts with O’Riley.
