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

Sessegnon has made 26 appearances for Fulham and was also joint-top scorer at the Euro Under-19 finals, which England won this summer. His twin brother Steven, also a Fulham player, is also tipped for a bright future.

Spurs boss Pochettino said after their opening win over Newcastle that the club will make additions in the last weeks of the transfer window, with talks having been held over Celta Vigo midfielder Papa Cheikh Diop as a potential alternative to top target Ross Barkley.

Spurs have also shown interest in Ajax defender Davinson Sanchez but the Dutch club have told him to stay.

Ryan Sessegnon - Sky sources are saying Tottenham are contemplating a bid for the Fulham defender.

We're also hearing there is significant interest from Manchester United. From Fulham's perspective, only a bid that's too good to refuse would be acceptable.

If United sign him, they'd consider immediately loaning him back to the Championship club. We are told Fulham are likely to stay strong - at least in this window.

Sky Sports News understands Manchester United are showing 'significant interest' in Fulham teenager Ryan Sessegnon, who remains a target for Tottenham.

The 17-year-old is one of the leading young talents in English football, having already made 26 Sky Bet Championship appearances and represented England at U19 level.

Sessegnon, who can play anywhere down the left, was part of England's victorious Euro U19 Championship-winning side and has since signed his first professional deal at Craven Cottage.

Sky Sports News reported last week that Tottenham remain firmly interested in Sessegnon, a player they have targeted for more than a year.

But, should Sessegnon become available, Spurs appear certain to face competition from United, whose manager Jose Mourinho is a keen admirer.

Sky sources also understand United would allow Sessegnon to continue his education at Fulham this season by loaning him back to the west London club.

However, Sky Sports News understands Fulham's stance on Sessegnon remains with owner Shahid Khan unprepared to sell the teenager even if a bid of £25m is received.

United still keen on Ryan Sessegnon but believe he would rather stay in London if Fulham decide to cash in https://t.co/ygiq6WKcgW
