Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly looking to bring both Ryan Sessegnon and Steven Sessegnon in from Championship side Fulham in January.

According to a report from the Daily Mirror, Tottenham are plotting to try and seal a deal for both Ryan Sessegnon and his twin brother Steven Sessegnon during the January transfer window, and that may involve paying Fulham £30 million for the pair.

The Mirror reports that Spurs are planning their pursuit of Ryan as they prepare for Danny Rose’s potential £50 million move to Manchester United next month.

The 17-year-old has been sensational since bursting onto the scene at Craven Cottage, scoring four times in the Championship this season despite predominantly featuring at left-back.

The Mirror reports that Spurs are leading the chase for the highly-rated teenager, and want to do a deal that also sees his twin brother Steven move onto Tottenham’s books for a combined £30 million.

Steven – who is yet to make his league debut for the Cottagers, but has appeared for the first-team in the League Cup this season – is set to cost Tottenham £10 million and the Premier League side plan to loan the starlet back to Fulham for 18 months.

While paying £20 million for Ryan Sessegnon appears to have the potential to be an absolute steal in time, it is perhaps slightly more of a surprise that Daniel Levy is willing to pay an eight-figure fee for his brother, a player still awaiting his league debut.

It may prove a masterstroke of course, and Ryan’s potential means that he could make the overall fee look like a bargain on his own – so if taking a gamble and paying £10 million for his twin brother is what it may take for Spurs to win the race, it is surely a gamble worth taking.
