Fulham have expressed an interest in signing both Raheem Sterling and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall from Chelsea this summer.

Sterling, 30, has no future at Stamford Bridge and is among a group of a dozen or so players training away from the first team in what has been nicknamed the 'bomb squad'.

Chelsea's strong preference remains to sell Sterling and they have placed a £20m asking price on the winger, although his £300,000-a-week contract still has two years to run, making any deal out of the club more complicated.

Arsenal previously agreed to split the wage when signing him on loan last season, but even a 50-50 split would be a stretch for Fulham's comparatively modest wage bill.

Fulham would have to compete against Champions League clubs like Bayer Leverkusen, while Juventus and Napoli have also been credited with an interest.

They would, however, be attractive to Sterling, who could remain in his family home in London, with his son, Thiago, recently joining Arsenal's academy.

The Whites remain the only Premier League club yet to make a signing, but they are calm about the situation and aim to keep Marco Silva's current squad together, having made contact to re-sign former loanee Reiss Nelson from Arsenal.

Meanwhile, Dewsbury-Hall remains valued as a Blues squad player rather than an automatic starter and there is no sense he is pushing for a move, with West Ham also reportedly interested in signing the midfielder if the terms are favourable.

Fulham have confirmed teenage midfielder Seth Ridgeon has signed a long-term contract with the club.

The 16-year-old, who joined Fulham at the age of eight, described the deal as a "dream come true" and said the club is the best place for his development.

Speaking to FFCtv, external, Ridgeon said: "It's a very proud moment for me. I've been at the club since I was eight and gone all the way through, and now it's a dream come true to sign with my boyhood club to keep the journey going.

"Signing here for a lengthy period shows that Fulham produce young players and allow them to have the opportunity here.

"I think it's the best place to be for my development."

Ridgeon made the step up to under-21s football last season and captained England Under-17s at this summer's European Championship.
