According to The Sun, Tottenham Hotspur are closing in on a deal to bring Fulham talent Ryan Sessegnon to North London this summer.

Spurs haven’t signed a single player since January 31st 2018, and despite reaching the Champions League final under Mauricio Pochettino, the squad clearly needs some work.

Adding young talent for Pochettino to work with would be ideal, and with doubts over Danny Rose’s long-term future, a new left wing back could be coming in.

The Sun report that Tottenham are now closing in on the signature of Fulham’s Sessegnon, in a deal which would cost around £25million to complete.

Sessegnon, 18, has been on the Spurs radar for a couple of years now, and it now seems that Pochettino is about to get his man.

Sessegnon just suffered relegation with Fulham, notching two goals and six assists this season, and looks set for an immediate return to the Premier League.

Capable of playing on the left wing or at left wing back, the speedy teenager should find Tottenham the perfect place to develop, and Spurs fans would surely be excited at him being their first signing of the summer.
