Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with the £15m-rated Fulham kid.
According to a report from Football London at the weekend, Fulham starlet Ryan Sessegnon has his “heart set on” a move to Tottenham Hotspur.
The 17-year-old full-back is one of Europe’s hottest properties following a fine breakthrough season with the Championship club.
The Daily Star have reported that Fulham want £15 million for him, but Spurs chairman Daniel Levy could get a knock-down price.
Another player with huge potential is Tottenham’s Josh Onomah, whose stock has risen considerably over the past 24 hours following a fine midfield performance to help England Under-20s lift the World Cup in South Korea at the weekend.
Problem is, the 20-year-old is not good enough to challenge for a spot in Mauricio Pochettino’s first XI just yet, meaning the Lilywhites could loan him out.
And Levy should offer him to Fulham on a season-long in an effort to get a reduced rate on Sessegnon.
That way, the Cottagers get a handsome sum for the teenager and a player of Onomah’s promise in their midfield for a year, while Tottenham get a gem, and possibly a much more polished one next summer when Onomah returns from a season in the Championship.
It’s a move which would suit both clubs, and Levy has the nous to make it happen.
