Fulham clinch whizkid Williams from MK Dons

Fulham have signed teenage strike George Williams from MK Dons the Premier League club has confirmed.

The 16-year old Wales U17 international has declined the option of signing a pro contract with the Dons, where he came through the youth academy, and will now take on a first-year scholarship with the Cottagers.

"We are very disappointed that George has chosen not to take up his scholarship or the offer of a professional contract with MK Dons and has instead decided his future is best served with Fulham," MK Dons chairman Pete Winkelman told the club's official website.

"Everyone at the club wishes him well in the future."
