Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly not keen on pursuing a deal for Fulham star Ryan Sessegnon. The young defender plays as a left back but has the potential to become a full-throttle winger one day in the future. He is 18 years old and has the potential to take on the world one day.
The Sessegnon effect was seen in full flow in the semi-finals of the Championship playoffs. The defender’s team, Fulham, were trailing to a solitary goal after the first goal. However, the 18-year-old put in a commendable performance in the match when he scored a fantastic goal and set up another to help his team through into the finals, which they eventually won.
With Fulham now becoming the third team from the Sky Bet Championship to play in the English Premier League next season, Sessegnon will finally have the opportunity to play on the big stage and show the world his exact potential to shine.
The player who turned 18 a couple of weeks back has all the time to perform and tell the world about his prodigious skills. He is a Fulham youth product who has risen through the ranks and has played 52 games for the club this season.
Despite playing as a left back throughout the season, he loves to move on the offensive and has scored 16 goals in the process while creating 8 more. It is astounding for any defender to think about getting on the double digits and even more so to do it in England at the age of 18.
He is versatile enough to play as a left winger as well and has excellent dribbling and crossing abilities. He is deadly in one-v-one situations and will definitely develop into a world beater over time. It is now being reported that Tottenham Hotspur who were earlier interested in signing the Fulham youngster has now been put off by his price tag.
He is valued at £50million, which Spurs clearly believe is too much for an 18-year-old who has not proved himself in the big leagues yet. Instead, they are reportedly interested in American youngster Christian Pulisic.
