# Fulham: Whites interested in bringing Barcelona target to Craven Cottage

**Reports in Spain suggest that Fulham are among the potential suitors of 15-year-old prospect Jose Antonio Gomez Marquez, who plays for third-tier Spanish outfit Coria.**

[Estadio Deportivo](https://www.estadiodeportivo.com/futbol-sevillano/2019/09/11/barca-tienta-coriano-joselito/241870.html) suggests (via [Sport Witness](https://sportwitness.co.uk/fulham-make-firm-offer-midfielder-want-travel-see-clubs-facilities-barcelona-also-keen/)) that Fulham, as well as a host of top-flight Spanish clubs, are interested in bringing in the youngster from the Andalusia-based side, with the Whites said to have offered the teenager the chance to visit the club ahead of a potential move to Craven Cottage.

More commonly known as Joselito, Coria’s youth product has also attracted the [interest](https://www.estadiodeportivo.com/futbol-sevillano/2019/09/11/barca-tienta-coriano-joselito/241870.html) of Villarreal, Alaves and Real Sociedad – while giants Barcelona have been thought to have sent scouts to assess the potential of the player.

A possible stumbling block in the deal for Fulham could lie in the fact that [Joselito](https://sportwitness.co.uk/fulham-make-firm-offer-midfielder-want-travel-see-clubs-facilities-barcelona-also-keen/) is said to be happy at his current club.

Although, despite plenty of clubs appearing to be queuing up for the youngster’s signature, it appears that Fulham are certainly at a more advanced stage of an approach, having sent relevant paperwork in order to further progress with talks.

Signing Joselito would add to the young contingent at Craven Cottage, with teenager [Steven Sessegnon](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fc-fulham/leistungsdaten/verein/931) among those to have made a first-team breakthrough this season, alongside other first-team newcomers Tyrese Francois and Ben Davis.

Stealing a march on Spanish champions Barcelona may well be something to shout about for Scott Parker should he pull this off – and perhaps the five-time Champions League winners’ interest in Joselito is a sign of the potential that the 15-year-old possesses.
