Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly keen on signing the Fulham ace.

Mauricio Pochettino manager

According to a report from Football.London, Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino is still keen to sign Fulham starlet Ryan Sessegnon, and has a plan to utilise him as both a left-back and a left winger, if he does manage to bring him to north London.

Spurs have already been busy in the transfer market this summer, signing Tanguy Ndombele from Lyon and Jack Clarke from Leeds United, but it seems as though their business is far from done.

There might just be some high profile exits too.

Danny Rose has been linked with a move away from Tottenham, according to a report from Football.London, whilst the same outlet claims that Christian Eriksen is now available for just £62 million.

And Football.London claims that Pochettino could be looking to kill two birds with one stone by signing Sessegnon, and utilising him as both a left-back and a left-winger.

Ryan Sessegnon of Fulham looks on during the pre-season friendly between Reading and Fulham at the EBB Stadium on July 14, 2018 in Aldershot, England.

The 19-year-old could be available for £35 million this summer, according to the Daily Mail, and that would represent excellent value for money for Spurs.

Much will depend on whether Tottenham can raise funds by moving on the likes of Rose and Eriksen first, however, and with both players nearing the ends of their contracts, selling them and bringing in Sessegnon as a replacement would be really smart business from Pochettino.
