Fulham striker Mousa Dembele admits he models his game on former Barcelona star Patrick Kluivert.

The Belgium striker modelled his game around one of the finest strikers of his generation, Kluivert, who Dembele had the pleasure of working alongside at his former club.

"I supported Barcelona when I was young and I was a fan of Patrick Kluivert," Dembele told fulhamfc.om. "It was crazy because he was at Alkmaar when I was there. He wanted to become a manager so he went there with Louis van Gaal and he spent a lot of time with me with advice and tips.

"He sends me messages and he's a really nice guy. When I was young everybody said I looked like him and had the same style as him. He was good with his back to the goal and I do play like him a bit. He congratulated me on my transfer to Fulham."
