According to reports from The Daily Mail, Chelsea are ready to beat Tottenham Hotspur to the signing of Fulham prodigy Moussa Dembele.
The 19-year-old striker has been in strong form this season, claiming 14 goals and six assists in 40 Championship appearances despite the Cottagers flirting with the relegation zone for much of the campaign.

Tottenham Hotspur came close to signing the France U20 during the January transfer window and are expected to revive their interest in the summer, with Dembele refusing to extend his contract beyond the end of the season.
But according to The Daily Mail, Chelsea are looking to poach the 6-foot forward from under the noses of their London rivals as they prepare for Antonio Conte’s first transfer window in charge at Stamford Bridge.
Due to Dembele’s age, any move this summer would require his next club to pay a compensation fee. But along with the aforementioned Premier League duo, Juventus, PSG and Napoli have also been linked.
