Major signing if true, the next Dele.

Don't put too much pressure on him. Looks good and hopefully will be but lets give him time.
Need to sign him first aswell. It might all look good now but anything can happen before he actually puts pen to paper.

If we do manage to sign Sessegnon this summer, an extra little bit of icing on the cake will be that he would be joining us before he turns 18, which would mean that if he subseqently stays with us until past the age of 21 then he will qualify as a Club Trained player as well as a Home Trained player, which doesn't do us any harm at all in ensuring we comply with regulations for European competition squad selections.

A sly wink, indicating "we got this".

The second emoji could also be aimed at the other clubs who want him

Just a question about any supposed transfer fee. This pre-18 stuff looks great but isn't he also *out-of-contract* as of this month? If he is indeed not signing a Fulham professional contract then why would we pay a transfer fee to them? To avoid a tribunal? Because any tribunal would be less than 12M for a 16yo wingback of 'championship' experience. Or are we 'playing nice' with Fulham?

This is great, thanks. I still see RS as being different as he is still academy age. Will be interesting to see how it works out as 12M for a 16yo and Levy doesn't seem to mesh. Though he does seem to have potential.

Well I guess it's based more on the potential of the player. This paragraph:
"PFCC hearings require each club to provide evidence to support their valuation of the player in question. In making its judgment the committee will take into account the costs of both clubs in operating a Football Academy or Centre of Excellence, as well as the age and playing record of the player, the length of time he was registered with his original club, the terms offered by both clubs, the status of the two clubs, the substantiated interest shown by other clubs in acquiring the registration of the player and any amounts paid by the original club to acquire the player in the first place."
He's one of the most sought after young players in Europe, already appearing and scoring goals for Fulham. Being chased by many big teams. I can see why their valuation would be high and why a tribunal may agree. All speculation of course.

It's possible he may have agreed to sign the pro contract with a gentleman's agreement that Fulham accept our bid. Or there may even be a clause in there. Either way I'm sure he doesn't want Fulham to get fucked over with what they receive.

We can still negotiate a fee with them without it going to tribunal and I suspect this is what we will try to do.
