Tottenham revive interest in Fulham's Ryan Sessegnon ahead of transfer deadline

Tottenham have revived their interest in Fulham's left-sided attacker Ryan Sessegnon with 17 days of the transfer window remaining, Sky Sports News understands.

Spurs, and especially their manager Mauricio Pochettino, have a long-standing admiration for the England youth player and wanted to sign him earlier this summer, in January and last year.

Sessegnon instead signed his first professional contract at Fulham, having graduated from their academy and thrived last season on youth terms, committing himself to a three-year deal.

A source has told Sky Sports Newsthat Spurs have made an opening offer of £25m but sources at both clubs insist no offer has been forthcoming, despite Fulham being aware of Spurs' interest.

Sessegnon, 17, signed his new contract following interest from Tottenham and Liverpool, as an indication that he is happy to stay at Craven Cottage, where he will be assured of first-team football this season.

Manager Slavisa Jokanovic also said he had been assured by the club's hierarchy that Sessegnon would not be sold in this window and the club are keen to back the Serbian after another summer of unrest behind the scenes over recruitment.

Sky Sports Newsunderstands that Fulham owner Shahid Khan remains unprepared to sell Sessegnon before the September 1 deadline, even if a bid of £25m is indeed received.

Thought my Paddy Power bet on this happening was dead, 17 days left...

So this young boy who has proven nothing is worth 50 million the same as Kyle Walker ? The football world truly has lost touch with reality.

I see where you are coming from but it's all about perspective ... imagine if you will a young Messi playing his trade somewhere ... would you not pay over the odds knowing he will be a superstar in the future and recoupe you that money no problem

 

[fortworthspur]

I cant see Fulham selling him this window.

 

[nedley]

Theres no doubt this kid could make a massive impact this season for us. Like an Deli kind of impact.

Im sure he'll be tempted but whether Fulham will be...

I put a ton down

I have a feeling that we've put in enough leg work that we have built up good will with the player, and with our track record with young english talent we are his next destination. We are in this deal for the long run and we'll get him eventually.

Been told we have had a bid of 16m rejected.
He has changed agents. Same one as Harry Kane now. We are pushing for the transfer...

BEN: Been told similar

Legend Dov!

Would love this to happen and seems to be gathering pace.

 

[Arthur Hucksake]

Of all the players we have been linked with, this guy is the one.

Immense talent.

So have Harry give him a call and get the kid on board. Spurs must sign this kid. He is going to be fantastic.

Very interesting, we appear to be flashing the cash. Someone mentioned it may mean Rose is being sold and I think this lends to that opinion.

 

[elDiablo]

Would make sense as we know poch is absolutely ruthless when you go against him so selling rose and buying sess could be the plan.

If we sell Rose, we better be getting Martial in return. If not no deal

slim shany:
It's actually the new agents pushing for it

 

[allpaths]

I don't think this will mean Rose is off because I think the club sees Sessegnon as an AM, but Ryan is the only replacement that is acceptable if it were to go down.

Agreed, we shouldnt be strengthening rivals without them strengthening us back. Especially united.
