Dembele

[Andy S]

What is the position with Dembele? As he is a young player are we as a club entitled to any money from him if he leaves?

[..FOF..]

Joka is doing his best to keep him for 1 more season.

My understanding is that if he goes to an English club at the end of his contract, we will get a significant fee decided by tribunal. If he goes overseas we get zilch

The tribunal set a fee of 6.5m for Sturridge. Here's some info about a similar situation with Ings:

"Danny Ings' move to Liverpool from Burnley has just become the latest to require a valuation by transfer tribunal. Liverpool are believed to have offered just short of £6m for the player, Burnley want something closer to £10m, so there is every chance the tribunal record of £6.5m – set when Daniel Sturridge joined Chelsea from Manchester City in 2009 – could be exceeded."

Also interesting that Garbutt was subject to a tribunal valuation:

"To give a fairly recent example, Luke Garbutt cost Everton £600,000 when he joined from Leeds United in 2009. That figure was set by tribunal and paid to the Yorkshire club immediately, though the tribunal also stipulated an extra payment of £750,000, paid in increments of £150,000 each time the player passed the landmarks of five, 10, 20, 30 and 40 first-team appearances."
