Fulham reportedly want £50million for Tottenham target Ryan Sessegnon.
According to The Sun, Fulham will demand a £50million fee for star teenager Ryan Sessegnon amid strong interest from Tottenham Hotspur.
Left wing back Sessegnon, 17, has come up through the ranks with Fulham having joined the club at the age of just eight, and he has now become a first-team star at Craven Cottage.
The England Under-19 international has hit the headlines once again this week having hit a hat-trick in the 5-4 win over Sheffield United on Tuesday night, with mounting interest in his signature.
The Sun now claim that Fulham will demand a huge £50million fee for Sessegnon, and whilst a £35million bid could get them thinking, it seems that the Cottagers will for interested clubs to pay an enormous fee.
Tottenham Hotspur are one club who have registered a strong interest in Sessegnon, though that £50million asking price would mean that Spurs have to break their transfer record to land him.
Fulham’s asking price gives Spurs chairman Daniel Levy a chance to act wisely, as it may be smart for Spurs to pay the fee required – or somebody else will, and Sessegnon is ideal for Spurs given questions over Danny Rose’s future.
Rose continues to be linked with a move away from Spurs, but if Fulham are demanding £50million for Sessegnon, then Levy would be smart to slap a similar asking price on Rose’s head, given that he is already one of the Premier League’s top left backs and an England international.
Sessegnon replacing Rose could be perfect for Spurs, but they won’t want to take a loss in making such a move, and it’s imperative that Levy gets a similar fee for Rose as he did for Kyle Walker – and given his negotiating history, he may well manage it.
