Fulham are confident they will be able to keep Harvey Elliot as big clubs continue to monitor the 15-year-old.
West London Sport revealed almost year ago that Chelsea and Manchester City were showing an interest in the youngster.
The likes of Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund have since been linked with him.
Elliot, who became Fulham’s youngest-ever player last week, is not eligible for scholarship terms until next July and cannot sign a professional contract until 2020.
But Fulham believe their strong relationship with the player and his family, and a clear pathway laid out to the first team, mean they are in a strong position.
Elliot joined the Whites’ academy in 2013. He has trained with the first team and was included on a pre-season trip to Spain.
