Tottenham Hotspur were linked with a £25 million move for Sessegnon last week, but may have to fight off Manchester United should they decide to pursue the 17-year-old.

Tottenham Hotspur are contemplating a bid for Ryan Sessegnon, but Manchester United also hold a significant interest in the Fulham left-back, Sky Sports reports in its live transfer blog (21/08 11:17).

Tottenham were said to have had a £25 million offer turned down for the teenager last week, although this was later denied by Sky Sports.

However, the broadcaster now reports that a bid is being considered, and adds that Fulham would sell, but only if an offer is ‘too good to refuse’despite previously stating that the west London side were unprepared to entertain any approaches.

Though it is also claimed that Manchester United would consider loaning Sessegnon back to Fulham if they succeed in signing him, the report does not state whether Tottenham would do likewise.

Nevertheless, Fulham are, according to Sky Sports, likely to stay strong at least in this window – having only recently tied the 17-year-old to a long-term contract.

The Sessegnon speculation follows rumours of interest in Tottenham left-back Danny Rose from clubs including Manchester United.

The former England Under-16 captain, who can also play further up the left flank, has played 34 times for Fulham’s first team, scoring seven goals and providing four assists.
