Fulham remain confident that Fabio Carvalho will sign a new contract with the club, according to Sky Sports News.

The talented teenage playmaker has been heavily linked with a January move to Liverpool over the past few days with his current deal due to expire at the end of the season. Carvalho, 19, took his goal tally for this term to seven as he bagged a brace in last night’s 6-2 thrashing of Birmingham City at Craven Cottage last night.

Fulham sources have told Sky Sports this evening that they are still hopeful that the England youth international will commit his future to the club. They say that the lines of communication between the youngster’s representatives and the club’s hierarchy remain open and believe that the player’s positive relationship with head coach Marco Silva and the prospect of Premier League football next season can convince Carvalho to stay with the Cottagers.
