Tottenham plan to sign Ryan Sessegnon this summer.
Tottenham Hotspur are planning a move for Ryan Sessegnon this summer, The Mirror report.
Fulham are potentially vulnerable to a bid for the teenager as relegation nears.
A move for Sessegnon would show clear direction. It would show greater long term planning than a short term move to bring Gareth Bale back.
Sessegnon is a player compared to Bale. The two are similar in style, and have dual ability to play as left-back or on the wing.
His former manager Slavisa Jokanovic told last year how his game has more to it than the Welshman’s.
He told Football London: “People compare him to Bale, for me it’s a mix between Marcelo and Bale.
“I’ve used him lately in a more offensive role, but he’s ready to be left-back of a big team that constantly attacks. He still has a lot of room for improvement.”
This season has been a testing one for Sessegnon. The Premier League has not been ‘easy’ for him or Fulham.
He has scored just twice, compared to 15 times in the Championship last season.
Yet it is easy to forget Sessegnon is just 18. Scoring twice in the top flight at that age is still a big achievement.
At Tottenham he could develop into a superstar. Spurs would be right to prioritise him over signing Gareth Bale.
