Fulham should re-sign Tottenham Hotspur’s Mousa Dembele after Mauricio Pochettino refused to rule out a potential exit in January.

Prior to Claudio Ranieri’s appointment at Fulham in November, they were heading in only one direction and that was straight back to the Championship.

Under the previous stewardship of Slavisa Jokanovic, the Serb had worked wonders in helping the London club earn promotion to the Premier League, but he struggled upon the club’s return to the promised land.

Fulham’s defensive problems soon become apparent as they were shipping goals for fun and not showing any signs of keeping a clean sheet.

But Ranieri’s appointment has added bite to their backline as they have kept two clean sheets in their previous four matches.

Those issues still need resolving for the struggling Premier League club and with the January transfer window open, Ranieri should pounce on signing former player Mousa Dembele from Tottenham.

Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino, speaking to Football.London, refused to rule out a potential departure for Dembele this month – he made 75 appearances for Fulham during their previous visit to the Premier League.

The 31-year-old has only started seven Premier League matches for Pochettino this season as he battles an ankle injury.

But his potential arrival at Craven Cottage would add much-needed experience, defensive stability and calmness to Fulham’s midfield as they battle relegation.

At this moment in time, they are sitting in the relegation zone, but a positive change of results in the next six weeks will seem them climb out of danger.
