Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino has already suggested he took a big risk to sign Dele Alli.
Mauricio Pochettino has admitted to Yahoo that he took a big risk to sign Dele Alli from Milton Keynes Dons back in 2015, and he should repeat the trick this summer to sign Fulham defender Ryan Sessegnon.
Tottenham have had a keen eye for young talent in recent times, with their scouting team working wonders in the transfer market.
Although Spurs have suffered some flops, the likes of Alli, Eric Dier and Victor Wanyama have unquestionably been brilliant additions.
And Spurs could have the opportunity to bring in another future star by snapping up Sessegnon from Fulham this summer.
The Cottagers have slapped a £15 million asking price on the 17-year-old (Independent), but that could turn out to be a bargain.
Of course, Spurs are mainly buying potential at this time – and Sessegnon would be unlikely to go straight into Pochettino’s first team.
But the youngster has already shown the capability to be a standout player at Championship level, and he looks a supreme talent.
Sessegnon has been a real bright spark for Fulham this campaign, as he has scored seven times in all competitions in 31 appearances.
And if Spurs are prepared to stake £15 million this summer, the future returns could be massive if Pochettino is prepared to take the gamble and sign Sessegnon.
