Tottenham Hotspur-linked Ryan Sessegnon would reportedly favour a move in London if he leaves Fulham.

According to ESPN, Tottenham Hotspur target Ryan Sessegnon would prefer to stay in London if he leaves Fulham this summer.

The 17-year-old is one of the most sought-after talents in England after scoring 15 goals this season to win the Championship Player of the Year and the Young Championship Player of the Year.

Tottenham and Manchester United appear to be leading the race for his signature but, according to ESPN, Spurs might have a significant advantage.

ESPN claims that Sessegnon would prefer to stay inside London if he does wind up leaving Craven Cottage and would therefore presumably favour a move to the Lilywhites, if it’s a choice between them and Jose Mourinho’s side.

The report adds that the Red Devils will put together a “lucrative deal” for Fulham irrespective of the player’s preferences in a bid to lure him to Old Trafford.

Liverpool have also been linked with the teenager – who can play left-wing or left-back – but it remains to be seen whether the Reds maintain their interest.
