"He's joining the full-time programme and is someone who will be looking to make that transition into full-time football.
"We're looking forward to seeing how he develops across the next couple of seasons."
Idris Odutayo, Timmy Abraham and Michael Olakigbe were listed as Fulham Academy players last season, while Tosin Adarabioyo and Josh Onomah played for the senior side.
