According to The Daily Mail, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Ryan Sessegnon from Fulham in the summer transfer window.

Sessegnon is one of the best young players in the Championship, and is hugely talented and promising.

The left-back is only 17 years of age, but former England Under-19 international is already a regular for Fulham.

The defender made 26 appearances for the Cottagers in the Championship last season and has started all four league fixtures for the London club so far this season.

Sessegnon signed his first professional contract with Fulham in June, as announced on the club’s official website.

The youngster’s contract at the former Premier League club is now until June 2020, but he has been linked with moves away from Craven Cottage.

The Daily Mail has credited Manchester United and Tottenham with interest in the youngster, but former Crystal Palace chairman Simon Jordan believes that the left-back should remain at Fulham and continue to play regular first-team football.

“This boy needs to stay at Fulham and learn his trade rather than go into the reserves at Manchester United or Tottenham,” said Jordan about Sessegnon on the Kick Off show on talkSPORT on Monday evening (broadcast from 7pm, August 21, 2017).
