The Fulham ace is a reported transfer target for Tottenham Hotspur.
Tottenham target Ryan Sessegnon admitted that it is his dream to play in the Premier League, when speaking to reporters at the London Football awards, as quoted by Four Four Two.
According to the Telegraph, Spurs are interested in signing the youngster from Fulham in the summer, with a potential £50 million deal being mooted.
Sessegnon has been quite simply sensational for the Cottagers so far this season, chipping in with 13 goals and four assists in 34 Championship outings, with more than half of those appearances coming from the left-back position.
Fulham are actually enjoying a successful campaign this season, and currently sit in fifth spot in the table, eight points adrift of the automatic promotion spots.
Whether Sessegnon will still be in west London come the start of next season remains to be seen, and the 17-year-old told reporters how it is his dream to play in the top flight, whilst highlighting the progress of Harry Kane and Dele Alli as an example for him to follow, as quoted by Four Four Two:
“I think for any young player playing outside the Premier League, the dream is to be in the Premier League. So I think winning this award makes me want to keep improving as a player. If you look at those two young English players [Kane and Alli], they’ve done it at a young age and they’re doing it currently in the Premier League. I’m no different to any other player, I just want to play at the highest possible level.”
Sessengnon is one of the most highly-coveted young players in the game, and if Tottenham manage to sign him in the summer, even for the £50 million touted, they will surely be the envy of the Premier League.
