Fulham should forget about reported interest in Tottenham youngster Josh Onomah.
Fulham are reportedly interested in Tottenham midfielder Josh Onomah, but his loan spell last season at Aston Villa suggests he may not ready for Premier League football yet.
According to the Mirror on their live transfer blog (4:49pm, 1 August), the Cottagers and Burnley like the 21-year-old, while Villa are also keen on re-signing him after last season.
The report adds that Spurs are reluctant to let him go out on loan as it stands due to injury problems within the squad ahead of the start of the season.
However, Fulham should ensure they are not in the race for the England Under-21 international if he does become available, as he would add very little to the squad.
Onomah had an inconsistent spell at Villa in the Championship where he failed to cement his spot in the starting XI and came in for some heavy criticism at times.
He is a versatile ace that can play in all midfield positions, but is still lacking that composure and quality that could make him a force in the Premier League.
Manager Slavisa Jokanovic has some excellent options in the centre of the park through the likes of Jean Michael Seri, Tom Cairney, Kevin McDonald and Stefan Johansen.
Meanwhile, it seems unlikely that Onomah could get near either Andre Schurrle or Ryan Sessegnon if he was competing for a wide role.
The 21-year-old would be better served dropping back down to the Championship to continue his development, while Fulham are making much more ambitious signings.
