Fulham, who were relegated from the Premier League last season, face a stern test in keeping England U-17 international Patrick Roberts at Craven Cottage.

And things may get worse for the London club with the Mirror reporting that Roberts is being pursued by Arsenal, Manchester City and Manchester United. An offer of £10 million will likely be enough to prise away Roberts from Fulham in January as Fulham may well need the cash with a number of big purchases not living up to expectations amid frustrated fans.
