Arsenal and Manchester United are reported to be eyeing promising Fulham attacker Patrick Roberts.

The 17-year-old is slowly being integrated into the first-team after moving up through the youth ranks and eventually signing a professional contract last July. He already made seven appearances that included two starts, while tallying an assist.

At international level, he was able to help the England's under-17s clinch the European Under-17 Championship and was included in the Team of the Tournament.

The Kingston upon Thames native is tied with the Cottagers until 2016, but sources suggest that the said interested clubs are looking to snatch him once the January transfer window opens.

Roberts has a suggested market value of £2million and an offer way above that said amount might leave the former top-flight side with no option but to hand him over to the highest bidder.
