Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United have all shown an interest in signing Fulham’s Fabio Carvalho, but have all but given up.

That’s according to the Daily Star, who claim that Carvalho has been attracting more and more interest since Liverpool’s move collapsed.

Liverpool attempted to sign Carvalho on deadline day in January but ran out of time to sign him and loan him back to Fulham.

Out of contract in the summer, Carvalho is now attracting more interest even with compensation needed to sign him.

It’s stated that London clubs Arsenal, Tottenham and West Ham have all been looking to sign Carvalho from their London neighbours.

However, they are resigned to missing out on Carvalho, seemingly believing that he is set for a move to the North West.

That is still likely to be with Liverpool, but rivals Manchester United are now looking to hijack the Reds’ interest.

Carvalho, 19, has racked up seven goals and five assists this season whilst shining as a number 10 under Marco Silva.

The wonderkid is bound for the Premier League one way or another, and Arsenal, Tottenham and West Ham may regret not moving earlier.

All three clubs are just miles away from Fulham and surely have scouts around the capital, with Carvalho surely standing out.

Liverpool have managed to push themselves to the front of the queue, leaving their London counterparts to seemingly give up hope.

If Carvalho leaves London and becomes an absolute star at Liverpool or United, all sets of fans would be forgiven for asking questions on just how they missed out.

There may still be time to turn things around, but that is looking increasingly unlikely with Carvalho set for a move up north.
