Fulham teenager Ryan Sessegnon continues to be linked with Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur, and Jimmy Bullard has weighed in to have his say on Sessegnon’s future in his blog with BetBright.

The Daily Mirror claimed earlier this month that French giants Paris Saint-Germain had entered the £30million race to sign the 17-year-old, along with Tottenham and Manchester United.

His glowing reputation continues in England’s second tier, after starring from either left-back or left-wing to score seven goals in just 30 outings this term as well as adding four assists.

With a ratio of almost one goal in every four games after scoring 14 in 60 senior appearances for Fulham, Sessegnon could leave west London and Bullard has urged him to ignore Spurs and join either PSG or United.

“Fulham youngster Ryan Sessegnon has got an important decision to make at some point in the close future, with clubs like PSG, Manchester United and Spurs all showing interest in him and I’m not surprised,” Bullard said.

“If you ask me, he’s got to go to a big club like PSG or United if they come in for him, because he may never get the opportunity again.

“With all due respect, Spurs aren’t at the same level as those clubs, so he could go there, but it might not work out how he’d expect and then he’d have blown his chance to sign with the big boys.”

Spurs have long since been interested in Sessegnon, with Mauricio Pochettino known for his faith in youth that has seen the likes of Harry Winks, Dele Alli and even Harry Kane shine since his arrival in north London.

It remains to be seen if Fulham can keep hold of their rising star, who still has more than two years remaining on his current contract at Craven Cottage.
