Premier League giants Spurs have been linked with Fulham’s wonderkid Ryan Sessegnon for ages and he could soon leave the Championship side.

Fulham will be in a very strong position when interest in their brilliant young winger Ryan Sessegnon inevitably ramps up again at the end of the season.

The 17-year-old is perhaps English football’s most coveted teenage talent and has done nothing to dampen the excitement about his future with a wonderful second season in the Fulham first-team.

Sessegnon is the driving force behind the Cottagers’ automatic promotion chase with a remarkable 12 goals in 32 Championship games this season.

Fortunately for Fulham, the Mail reports that he signed a three-year deal as recently as July with no release clause – meaning Slavisa Jokanovic’s side can demand a huge fee for a player courted by Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal.

Tottenham Hotspur, however, have perhaps been the most heavily linked.

Intriguingly, former Fulham striker Leroy Rosenior has hinted on the Totally Football Show that Spurs might have already wrapped up a deal to bring Sessegnon to North London.

“I think that a deal has been done for Ryan as teams have been in for him. It’s a Premier League side with strong rumours of Tottenham,” Rosenior said.

“He stays at Fulham before moving in the summer. His future is already mapped out.

“Ryan has great potential. He could be an amazing player.”

It remains to be seen how much Fulham would demand for Sessegnon, with The Times suggesting that it will take £50 million to prize him away from Craven Cottage.

That would make Sessegnon the most expensive teenager in English football’s history and Spurs’ new record signing.
