Fulham are on the verge of signing former Arsenal youngster Dan Casey.
Casey has completed a medical with the Craven Cottage club and is expected to sign an initial two-year deal.
The 18-year-old will begin his Fulham career in their U21s setup.
The move to Fulham will end months of uncertainty over his future for Casey.
The attacking midfielder left Arsenal last summer after turning down a professional deal to explore other options. He firstly saw a proposed move to Crystal Palace break down and has also spent time training with Manchester City and Feyenoord.
But Fulham have now managed to agree a compensation package with Arsenal to sign the teenager.
Casey joined Arsenal aged seven and shone for their U18s last season, scoring 18 goals in 21 appearances. He also featured for their U19 and U21 sides and trained with Mikel Arteta’s first team.
Casey was born in London but is also eligible to play for Italy through his mother.
MEZIESBLOG understands he is expected to be in contention for a call-up to Italy’s U19s squad once his club future is finally resolved and he has settled into life at Fulham.
