Lawyers representing some of Mohamed Al Fayed’s accusers say they have received “several enquiries” relating to Fulham Football Club during the late billionaire’s 16 years of ownership.

Al Fayed was accused by more than 20 female ex-employees of sexual assault or rape in a BBC documentary which aired last week.

The Harrods boss, who died last year aged 94, was chairman of Fulham between 1997 and 2013, and a spokesman for the group of barristers, Justice for Harrods Survivors, said more individuals have now come forward.

In a news conference last week, the group said he was a “monster” who threatened his sexual abuse victims to stay silent.

Fulham say the club “remain in the process of establishing whether anyone at the club is or has been affected by the reports concerning Mr Al Fayed”.

A spokesperson for the Football Association added that they are “aware of the reports and will remain in contact with Fulham FC to monitor the matter”.
