Fulham youngster Ben Davis has been warned he risks jail for avoiding Singaporean national service.

Davis, 18, joined the Cottagers in July, signing a two-year deal with the west London club.

But the Singapore government denied his application to defer his duties.

Now the country's Ministry of Defence have declared: "Mr Benjamin Davis is a national service defaulter

"He failed to report for national service as required. He is also staying overseas without a valid Exit Permit."

All men from Singapore over 18 must serve in the armed forces, police or civil defence force for two years.
