Fulham starlet Sessegnon ready to snub Tottenham and Manchester United
Ryan Sessegnon is prepared to turn down big money offers from the likes of Manchester United and Tottenham to stay at Fulham if they get promoted this season, claims The Sun.
The 17-year-old has quickly emerged as one of the most exciting talents in England this season and is already a transfer target for the likes of United and Tottenham.
Both clubs are expected to sign a new left-back in the summer and £30m-rated Sessegnon is being considered by both Premier League sides.
However, Sessegnon is ready to turn down both clubs and hand Fulham with a major boost ahead of the summer, although it hinges on whether the Cottagers can seal promotion this season.
Fulham have barely put a foot wrong since the turn of the year and Slavisa Jokanovic’s side are currently third in the Championship and seven points adrift of the automatic promotion places.
In fact, the west London outfit would be four points clear at the top of the Championship if the league table started on January 1.
Fulham are undefeated in this calendar year and Sessegnon has played a major part in their success this season. Only three players have scored more goals than Sessegnon (14) in the Championship this season.
The teen has received his first England Under-21 call-up as a result of his fine form and will aim to make his debut for Aidy Boothroyd’s side on Tuesday.
"Both clubs are expected to sign a new left-back in the summer and £30m-rated Sessegnon is being considered by both Premier League sides. " How does that sentence make sense? If they pay that much for him, it's only worth it if he's on the wing. He doesn't really play left-back, and he wouldn't worth that much if he did.
