According to the Mirror, Tottenham are interested in Ryan Sessegnon and could make a move for the Fulham midfielder this summer. Sessegnon has been linked with Spurs for some time and could be signed for a cut-price fee after Fulham’s relegation was recently confirmed.
However, given Sessegnon had a £50m asking price before the Cottagers went down, how much money would the Lilywhites really save?
The 18-year-old made 33 appearances in all competitions for the Cottagers this season, scoring and creating eight goals. He was on the winning side only five times (27% ratio) and is part of a Fulham side that have conceded 76 goals in the Premier League.
Tottenham may be interested in the teenager, but where would he play? Sessegnon is not a left-back, he’s more of a winger now and could find himself behind Christian Eriksen, Heung-min Son, Lucas Moura and Erik Lamela in the pecking order.
Given all the competition for places, why would Tottenham pay so much money to sign him? The rumours will be persistent over the summer, but it’s hard to see the Lilywhites making a move unless an existing player is sold.
