Fulham manager Slavisa Jokanovic is desperate not to lose young striker Moussa Dembele..

The London Evening Standard says Tottenham have been in discussions with Dembele's representatives for some time, before opening talks with the West London club last week.

"This is all speculation and I want them to stay," Jokanovic said of Dembele and Ross McCormack.

"We intend to use the loan market and we are looking to bring players in. It won't be easy. We are under an embargo and can't spend money but we need to try to strengthen.

"This was the Fulham plan before I arrived and this is what we want to do."
