The Fulham star has been linked with moves to Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid this month.
Cottages boss Slavisa Jokanovic spoke to reporters in the aftermath of his side’s 1-0 FA Cup defeat to Southampton yesterday, and provided a further update on the future of Spurs-linked Ryan Sessegnon, insisting that the club does not want to sell the talented teenager, as quoted by popular football news website Football.London:
The 17-year-old is one of the most highly sought-after youngsters in the game, and has been in sizzling form for his club this season, chipping in with seven goals and four assists in 26 Championship outings, with 18 of those appearances coming from the left-back position.
Unfortunately for Fulham, his fine displays have not gone unnoticed, with the Mirror claiming that Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid, Manchester United and Tottenham are all keen on obtaining the young Englishman’s signature this month, with a fee of £30 million being touted.
Sessegnon is still under contract at Craven Cottage until the summer of 2020, so Fulham are still in a fairly strong position, if they do in fact want to keep hold of their prized asset – something that Jokanovic insists they want to do, as quoted by popular football news website Football.London:
“I don’t have any information that we want to sell him. Between us, I don’t have any information that we want to sell him and for another side I don’t want to sell him, I have no intention.”
With the January transfer window now open though, it will be interesting to see if the west London outfit’s stance on Sessegnon changes, if they receive a hefty bid for the 17-year-old.
