Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly leading the race for Fulham’s Ryan Sessegnon.
According to a report from The Mirror, Fulham teenager Ryan Sessegnon has decided that he wants to join Tottenham Hotspur at the end of the season.
Sessegnon, 17, has come up through the ranks with Fulham having joined the club back in 2008, and he impressed last season with seven goals in 30 games for the Cottagers.
The wonderkid has been a sensation for Slavisa Jokanovic’s side this season, hitting 14 goals and four assists in 36 games to aid Fulham’s push for promotion.
Many still expect Sessegnon to move on this summer though, and it’s claimed that he is now wanting a move to Tottenham due to Mauricio Pochettino’s work developing young players and the fact that he wouldn’t have to leave London.
What about Liverpool?
Tottenham are allegedly willing to pay £35million to secure Sessegnon’s signature this summer, which may well hint at Danny Rose’s exit, but the claims come just a day after reports over Liverpool’s interest.
The Express claimed on Wednesday that Sessegnon prefers a move to Liverpool over any other Premier League club, but those claims have now been countered with the latest Tottenham reports.
Liverpool have seen Andrew Robertson thrive at left back recently, whilst Jurgen Klopp also has Alberto Moreno at his disposal, meaning the Reds may view Sessegnon as a left winger rather than a left back.
At Spurs, Sessegnon could play anywhere down the left flank given Pochettino’s tactical flexibility, and it now remains to be seen whether Liverpool or Tottenham win the race for his signature.
