Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly interested in signing Ryan Sessegnon of Fulham.
According to The Daily Mail, Tottenham are interested in signing Sessegnon from Fulham this summer.
It has been reported that Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino has been an admirer of the 18-year-old for over 18 months.
The report has also claimed that Fulham will demand as much as £35 million as transfer fee for Sessegnon.
The England Under-21 international is a very talented and promising young player who can operate as a left-winger or as a left-back.
Sessegnon has suggested that he would be open to leaving Fulham, with the Cottagers having been relegated from the Premier League to the Championship.
Sessegnon told The Sun when told that Manchester United and Tottenham are interested in him: “I have the European Under-21s with England and an opportunity to win a tournament with England. We’ve both won tournaments with England before and hopefully I can help out there.
“Personally, I am still a Fulham player until 2020 but, of course, my aim is to play at the highest level. I am not sure where the future will take me but I have always wanted to play regular Premier League football.”
Sessegnon’s aforementioned comments suggest that although he is committed to Fulham, a move to Tottenham will be of interest to him.
The youngster is very promising, and the 18-year-old need not rush into leaving, as he is getting regular playing time at Fulham.
If Spurs do make an offer for Sessegnon this summer, then the teenager has to make a decision after carefully evaluating all the options.
