Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly plotting a new move for Fulham’s Ryan Sessegnon.
According to The Sun, Tottenham Hotspur are planning another move to sign Fulham teenager Ryan Sessegnon in 2018, having tracked him for some time.
Spurs have seen Ben Davies thrive at left wing back this season, with the Welshman notching two goals and two assists in six Premier League outings this season, whilst Danny Rose is working his way back to fitness.
However, after Rose suggested to The Sun in August that he was somewhat disgruntled in North London, Tottenham may well be looking for another left wing back in case Rose does end up leaving in the near future.
A player that many Spurs fans would love to see join the club, possibly as a replacement for Rose, is Fulham’s Ryan Sessegnon, who has been linked with Spurs on a number of occasions.
Now, The Sun report that Tottenham are again plotting a new move for Sessegnon in 2018, with Spurs ready to either test the water in January, or wait until next summer to make their move.
It’s claimed that Fulham are standing firm on a fee though, and would demand around £50million for one of the brightest talents to ever come out of the Cottagers’ academy – a fee which would break Tottenham’s transfer record.
Whether Daniel Levy would be willing to pay such a huge fee for a 17-year-old remains to be seen, but Tottenham would be getting a true wonderkid if they did pull off a deal.
The teenager, who can play at left back, left wing back or on the left of midfield, possesses superb pace as well as skill and end product, having hit six goals and five assists in 37 Championship appearances.
Staying in London whilst playing for a club who give opportunities to young players could be ideal for Sessegnon, but Spurs may well have to consider selling Rose before firming up their interest in the Fulham starlet.
