Fulham academy's technical chief Gary Brazil has revealed they're planning to get more aggressive about recruiting from abroad.
Brazil told fulhamfc.com: "I'm relatively new here and recruitment has been pretty much in and around the area. You can go into the leafy suburbs of Surrey or into London and you can get a big cross section of players from different, diverse backgrounds. We are very much homegrown, with boys joining the Club from the local area.
"I believe the way forward for us as an Academy is to be in the market for the good young kids coming up in the surrounding area but beyond that we've got start recruiting strongly and aggressively abroad, which we've already started doing.
"We're looking at bringing in boys aged 14, 15 or 16 years of age and getting the culture and philosophy of this Academy ingrained in them. Our aim is to produce technically proficient players for this Football Club. Players that can pass the ball and play a progressive game. We play a game on the floor which would have pleased those people who came down to watch us last weekend.
"It sounds very obvious but the better the recruitment, the better the quality of the boys you bring to the Club and consequently the better chance you have of bringing them through."
