Fulham boss Martin Jol is delighted with Mousa Dembele's impact in midfield.

He has dropped him deeper to increase the amount of time he gets to spend with the football, and it's certainly paying dividends.

"Mousa is very talented," Jol told fulhamfc.com. "I felt he is a forward player but I thought he could probably play a bigger role in my team because he has so many touches of the ball and I think that improved our overall link up play in midfield when we changed his position.

"In his specific style we are not focused as much on scoring goals because if you judge him on goals you have to remember he is still a young player, but now people probably judge him more on his midfield play.

"If he plays in midfield and scores five or six goals then he would be a terrific player, if you play him up front and he scores four or five goals then that is probably not good enough for a top player."
