West Ham look set to miss out on highly-rated teenager Fabio Carvalho after showing interest.
The 19-year-old reportedly looks set to remain at Fulham and agree on a new deal amidst interest from the Hammers and Leeds United.
Following a promising Premier League breakthrough last season, Carvalho has flourished in Scott Parker’s side in the opening weeks of the new term.
According to a report from TeamTalk, as cited by RumorsTransfersNews24/7 on Twitter, the England youth international is on the verge of making a commitment at Craven Cottage.

The report claims Fulham are set to extend Carvalho’s contract beyond 2022, fending off interest from the domestic duo and Barcelona in the process.
Born in Portugal, the flamboyant winger has been capped on 29 occasions across various levels by England.
This season the starlet has scored three and assisted one goal in five Championship outings.

Clearly an exciting prospect, West Ham will no doubt be disappointed to see Carvalho extend a deal with the Cottagers.
Players of the Portuguese youngsters ilk are exactly the type the Irons should be targeting where possible.
Whilst it may be too late for this one, even showing an interest in such a deal is a positive sign that the club are acting in the right manner.
