1997 and he is seen as one of the most promising young players in the
UK who plays as a second striker or right winger. He joined
Fulham at the age of 13 and he signed his first professional contract at the
age of 17.
The ever pragmatic coach
Felix Magath has previously described him as an "extraordinary
talent" and he Roberts was handed his first team debut at the age of 17
against his new club Manchester City. During the 14/15 season Roberts made 17

as a future England star with a superb future within football. Now at 18 he has
signed for one of the biggest clubs in Europe but he is expected to play in the
EDS team with a handful of first team appearances or he might get loaned out to
a weaker team where he can take up a first team spot to further his
development.
