Fulham to rival Arsenal in transfer race for Sterling
Although he recently lost on Skill Skool on Sky sports recently Fulham have emerged as surprise rivals to Arsenal for the signature of QPR wonderkid Raheem Sterling.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger was in pole position to get Sterling, 15, after ordering the club’s academy director Liam Brady to sign him up.
But now the Cottagers have sounded out their west London neighbours about a possible summer transfer for the youngster.
Lightning-quick striker Sterling, who turned 15 on December 8, is an England Under-16 international.
He is waiting for his first team debut and won’t beat the Football League record set by Reuben Noble-Lazarus, who made his Barnsley bow aged 15 years and 45 days last season.
But Fulham still hope to get Sterling’s signature for a modest down payment of £1.5million with a number of add-ons should he fulfil his potential.
