Fulham boss Symons eager not to lose Bettinelli to Chelsea

Fulham boss Kit Symons is desperate not to lose goalkeeper Marcus Bettinelli.

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho watched the Whites keeper in action two weeks ago and is reportedly looking to sign him as back up for Thibaut Courtois with current No.2 Petr Cech tipped to leave in the summer.

Symons said: "I've had a chat with Marcus about that already. I'd certainly be looking to do that and the club would too.

"He's a bright young goalkeeper and I'm not surprised he's being linked with other people.

"Marcus has done really well for us this season, I'd say better than I'm sure he expected at the start of the season. I've been delighted with his progress."
