According to Sky Sports, the striker rejected the chance to stay at Chelsea by turning down a new contract offer from the Premier League side, as he chases first-team football.
The 19-year-old has scored 44 goals in his last 88 games for Chelsea across various youth levels, with an incredible 29 goals in 37 games at under-18 level.
Bundesliga side Hoffenheim were also said to be interested in the striker, with Fulham now securing his signature ahead of their Championship campaign.
Chelsea manager Frank Lampard currently has Michy Batshuayi, Olivier Giroud and Tammy Abraham as his options up front.
