Currently playing with the Championship side Fulham, offers are currently flowing in from a number of big name clubs for the 16-year-old including Liverpool, Manchester United, Arsenal and Tottenham.
In the race to bag the youngster, Manchester United is being considered as a front runner so far. However, Liverpool has been trying to make Sessegnon a part of their team for quite a long time and might be successful in their mission this time around it seems. Current coach of the Reds, Jurgen Klopp has been looking for a left-back who can give his side’s defence an edge over that of the oppositions’ and can also make runs down the wing with good pace and ferocity.

His swift dribbling skills to shake off his opponents are impressive and long shots into the face of the opponent goals from both set pieces and open play can be good enough to cause a stir in any defence.

Tottenham are also reportedly looking to make a bid for the prodigal youngster and make him a part of their team for the next season. The Spurs nurtured present Real Madrid star, the Welshman Gareth Bale, who had also started as a left back and went on to become one of the best forwards in the game.

Jose Mourinho, the current Reds manager is not at all impressed with the performance of the England left back and is reportedly looking for a good replacement.
