Belgian buy may clear Moussa path

Moussa Dembele could be on his way to Spurs or Liverpool if Fulham tie up the expected £3.5m transfer of Twente's Nacer Chadli.

Dembele, who joined Fulham from AZ in 2010, is the subject of strong interest from both clubs and could be allowed to leave if the bidding tops £10million this summer. Chadli appears to be the ready-made replacement for the Belgian winger and is keen to follow Dembele to Fulham, according to the player's agent. The 22-year-old has been linked with a move away from De Grolsch Veste after attracting interest from some of Europe's top clubs - including Benfica. Daniel Evrad, Chadli's agent, said: "He has a 99 per cent chance of leaving with Fulham his destination." Chadli has scored eight goals in 31 appearances for Twente this season and, although he is right-footed, can operate on both flanks. Fulham are well equipped with wide players at the moment with veteran Damien Duff and youngster Karim Frei also on the books.
