The teenager has excelled at Fulham this season, but looks to be on his way to Liverpool despite interest from Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal and a string of others.
Fukham’s Ryan Sessegnon celebrates scoring against Newcastle United
Liverpool are set to win the race to sign teenage Fulham left-back Ryan Sessegnon, according to Football.London.
Sessegnon, who doesn’t turn 17 until May, has excelled in his debut campaign for the Cottagers, whom he has helped to the brink of a Championship play-off place.
The England Under-19 international has only played 19 times in the league this season, but has still managed to score four goals and create another two for Slavisa Jokanovic’s side.
According to Football.London, however, Sessegnon will be plying his under Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp next term, despite interest from Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal and a string of other Premier League clubs.
Liverpool’s shortage of adequate left-backs has seen them deploy James Milner there for much of the campaign, despite the 31-year-old favouring a central midfield role.
And that is sure to appeal to Sessegnon, who may have found his path to the first team blocked at both Tottenham or Arsenal.
