Manchester City are lining up a move for Fulham winger Ryan Sessegnon next summer. According to recent reports, the Citizens are ready to join in on the hunt to secure the services of the Cottagers wonderkid. A whole host of Premier League clubs are monitoring his progress at Craven Cottage which includes Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur.
Pep Guardiola’s side are showing an interest on the Skybet Championship starlet with Fulham bracing themselves for offers at the end of the season whether they earn a promotion back to the Premier League or not. It is believed that both Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are also keeping tabs on his situation in London and could be enticed to make a move for him in the near future.
Sessegnon has featured in 38 matches for Fulham this season, scoring 14 goals and providing 4 assists in all competitions. The England Under-19 international is highly versatile and can operate anywhere down the left flank which makes him an ideal asset for any of his potential suitors. The 17-year-old winger has immense potential and could turn out to be one of the stars of the future. Hence, it is no wonder that some of the best clubs in European football are lining up for his signature.
The Citizens are currently leading the Premier League table with a tally of 78 points in 29 league matches. They are firmly in the driver’s seat as they look to earn another league title at the top tier of English football with a staggering 19 point lead over their crosstown rivals Manchester United, having played a game more. Pep Guardiola’s side are still participating in two different competitions and have already won the Carabao Cup last month. They are also set to go through to the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League having secured a 4-0 advantage over FC Basel from their first leg clash.
Manchester City’s dream of a treble this season is well and truly on which is mainly down to the incredible form of their players. Pep Guardiola has the likes of Leroy Sane, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Benjamin Mendy, Raheem Sterling, Danilo and Fabian Delph vying for the left-back and left-wing positions. The addition of Sessegnon will undoubtedly bolster their attacking options and add more competition for places under Guardiola next season as they look to maintain their dominance in English football.
It remains to be seen what lies ahead in the future of the Fulham teenager and whether Manchester City can fend off stiff competition in pursuit of his signature.
