Brendan Rodgers signed Fulham striker Moussa Dembele for £500,000 in the summer, the former Liverpool boss will hope he can convince Konsa a move north of the border playing first team football is the ideal career move.

The teenager joined the Addicks aged 12 and has rapidly risen through the ranks to make his first team debut in the EFL Cup last August against Cheltenham Town.
