Tottenham Hotspur, Everton and Liverpool are among the Premier League clubs chasing Fulham starlet Ryan Sessegnon.

A report from Get West London has suggested that Fulham starlet Ryan Sessegnon is ready to deal a blow to the likes of Tottenham and Everton by signing a new deal at Craven Cottage.
Sessegnon has enjoyed a brilliant year in the Championship. The 16-year-old has made 22 appearances for Slavisa Jokanovic’s men in the league, scoring four and contributing two assists from the left flank.
Unsurprisingly given his age, Sessegnon has quickly developed a long list of Premier League admirers, with Get West London linking Spurs, Everton, Liverpool and Arsenal with an interest, but he is ready to make a big statement on his future.
According to Get West London, Sessegnon – who really put himself on the map with a stunning display against Newcastle in March with two goals in a 3-1 win at St James’ Park – is planning to sign a new contract with Fulham on his 17th birthday having already agreed a pre-contract deal.

The news will undoubtedly be a blow for the likes of Tottenham and Everton as they will now have to pay a sizeable fee if they hope to sign the youngster, who is clearly destined to play in the Premier League one day having not looked out of place in the second tier.
And while this development may prevent a bidding war this time around, it would hardly be a surprise if Tottenham, Everton, Liverpool and several other top flight teams soon get the chequebooks out to try and land the signature of one of the brightest prospects in the Championship.
