Fulham talent spotters ran the rule over Peterborough United star and Rangers target Siriki Dembele on Saturday, Football Insider can exclusively reveal.

A source has told Football Insider Dembele has been targeted by multiple top clubs including Fulham, Rangers, Celtic and Crystal Palace.

Rangers

Fulham scouts watched him score in Saturday's 3-3 draw against Lincoln City as Peterborough came from three goals down to secure the point needed for automatic promotion.

The 24-year-old's younger brother Karamoko is on Celtic's books but Siriki has attracted interest from both of the Glasgow clubs.

Dembele netted his 11th League One goal of the season at London Road yesterday and he also has 12 assists under his belt in 42 league appearances.

He is not the only Peterborough forward attracting the interest of top clubs including Rangers.

He scored Peterborough's other two goals against Lincoln including the vital 90th-minute penalty equaliser that rounded off their comeback from 3-0 down and secured a return to the Championship.

Rangers

Clarke-Harris has 31 goals in 45 League One games playing through the middle this season while Dembele has operated out wide and in behind the 26-year-old.
