Jose Mourinho Jr signs two-year scholarship deal with Fulham

Jose Mourinho's son has signed a two-year scholarship deal with Championship side Fulham.

Jose Mourinho Jr, a goalkeeper by trade, has played for a number of youth teams at clubs that his father has managed, including Real Madrid and Chelsea.

Rather than joining him at Old Trafford, however, the 16-year-old has decided to stay with the Cottagers, for whom he has played in their academy.

Mourinho Jr confirmed the deal on his personal Twitter account.
