Tottenham is monitoring long-term target Ryan Sessegnon, who is expected to leave Fulham following the club’s relegation.
Fulham
Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino is a big admirer while Manchester United, Paris Saint Germain and Borussia Dortmund are also very keen.
Spurs appear to be in pole position as Pochettino wants to shake up his squad this summer and their track record of giving English youngsters a chance is certain to appeal.
Sessegnon, who turns 19 next month, was rated in the £50m bracket by Fulham last summer but their relegation and his contract running down means the price could be half that this time.
Fulham will sell this season rather than resist bids because they could not risk losing him to a foreign club for a knock-down fee next summer when they would just have to pay a small compensation package.
PSG have been serious contenders while Dortmund would have been keen to put Andre Schurrle into any player-plus-cash deal but that possibility has gone now Fulham have gone down.
Sessegnon has been left devastated by Fulham’s relegation as he was always keen to stay and play in the Premier League but this season has not gone to plan.
A fresh start is certain to put Sessegnon back in the England picture as he is regarded as one of the country’s best young prospects.
