Tottenham Hotspur have been tracking the Fulham ace for quite some time, according to reports.

Tottenham have failed to sign a single player during the last two transfer windows, and that will surely have to change in the summer, if they are to have any chance of pushing on over the next few years.

One player who has been attracting attention from Spurs is Fulham’s Ryan Sessegnon.

According to a report from the Telegraph, the Lilywhites were prepared to pay £35 million for the 18-year-old last year, but alas, that move failed to materialise.

And now there might never be a better chance for Tottenham to swoop in for Sessegnon, ahead of a potential summer transfer.

The Fulham ace has less than 18 months remaining on his current contract with the Cottagers, and has been left out of their last three games, with Claudio Ranieri preferring Ryan Babel in the left wing position and Joe Bryan at left-back.

The west London outfit are also staring relegation down to the Championship in the face, with seven points separating them from safety.

Tottenham should make a move for Sessegnon now, whilst his future remains very much up in the air, and at least enquire about the teenager’s availability ahead of the summer.

The 18-year-old clearly has an exciting future ahead of him in the game, and Spurs would be the ideal place for him to continue his progression.

Fulham would surely be interested in selling Sessegnon, for the right price of course, rather than risk losing him for nothing in 2020, and Tottenham should waste no time in setting the wheels in motion for a summer transfer.

The stars are aligned, and Pochettino must act now.
