Fulham striker Dembele receives Football League award

The Football League have named Fulham striker Moussa Dembele as the Young Player of the Month for October.

Dembele, who has represented France at various youth levels and is a current under-20 international, scored five goals as the Whites went unbeaten in October. The 19-year-old registered in a 1-1 draw with Leeds United before firing doubles in the back-to-back wins over Reading and Bristol City.

On receiving The Football League’s Young Player of the Month Award, which covers players that play in all three divisions of the Sky Bet Football League, Dembele said:

“I feel very happy to win this trophy but it is just the beginning. I need to keep going, keep doing what I am doing and keep impressing everyone. For a young player it is good to have a run in the first team and know that people around you believe in you. That’s what happened. I took my chances and I’m very pleased with that. I am still young and still learning the game. It is a good trophy but hopefully there is more to come.”

Dembele has progressed in the Fulham Academy programme since joining the club from Paris Saint-Germain in 2012 and after making his first team debut in 2014/15, the young Frenchman has cemented his place in the senior squad this term registering eight goals in league and cup to date.
