Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly been monitoring Fulham full-back Ryan Sessegnon for two years.

According to The Gambling Times, Fulham youngster Ryan Sessegnon is Tottenham Hotspur’s top target to replace Danny Rose who could leave in the next transfer window.

The Gambling Times reports that 27-year-old Rose will be sold in January after a fallout with manager Mauricio Pochettino, and that Manchester United want to sign him.

England youth international Sessegnon, only 17 years old, has already played 50 times for Fulham’s senior side and has scored a mightily impressive 11 goals from the left flank.

The Gambling Times adds that Spurs have been scouting Sessegnon for two years already, but they must move fast while they are in pole position to sign the talented teenager.

Sessegnon is likely to be on the radar of all of England’s top clubs, with Chelsea, Liverpool and even Manchester City all in need of an upgrade or cover in the left-back department.

Due to Mauricio Pochettino’s record of developing young players and their London location, Spurs would probably be Sessegnon’s preferred destination should a move arise now.

However, the more time that passes, the higher Sessegnon’s price tag will rise and that will even the playing field to give Tottenham’s rivals a better chance of signing the player.

Sessegnon is producing Gareth Bale-esque numbers at such a young age and Spurs would be kicking themselves if they missed out on the perfect long-term successor to Rose.
