According to the latest odds released by United Kingdom bookmakers Skybet (via Football.London), Tottenham Hotspur are leading the chase to secure the services of Ryan Sessegnon from Fulham during the summer transfer period. Skybet (via Football.London) has priced Spurs as 1/2 odds-on favourites to bring the English winger to North London in this offseason.
Sessegnon’s Fulham Career Has Been A Rollercoaster Of Emotions
The English teenager came through the youth ranks of Fulham before finally breaking out as a first-team starter back in 2016. Sessegnon featured in 38 matches for the London side last season, scoring two goals while grabbing six assists in all competitions.
The 19-year-old had to experience the heartbreak of being relegated with the Cottagers last season after the London outfit only managed to secure 26 points from 38 matches in the Premier League. Hence, it could be difficult for the EFL Championship team to retain their prized asset beyond this summer.
There is no doubt that Mauricio Pochettino would welcome players who can improve the overall strength of his Tottenham squad, so Sessegnon fits the bill perfectly. Even though the English wonderkid is still quite raw, yet he has already shown enough maturity to prove his worth in the English top-flight.
What Will The England Under-21 Talent Bring To North London?
Sessegnon boasts blistering pace which enables him to dribble with the ball at top speed down the left wing. He is also versatile enough to play in any role on the left flank. When he is playing with confidence, the English prospect can contribute by scoring or assisting goals in the offensive end of the field.
Should Pochettino Recruit Sessegnon This Summer?
Recruiting a player of Sessegnon’s massive potential will bolster Pochettino’s attacking options at the new White Hart Lane as the Argentine head coach does not have too many natural wingers in his squad. The England U-21 international has all the skillset needed to be a success at North London as he would be able to link up and form a productive partnership with Danny Rose while operating on the left side of the Spurs midfield.
Thus, it makes sense for Tottenham to sign Sessegnon this summer as he will add another dimension to Pochettino’s attack, which could help them bridge the gap to Manchester City and Liverpool over the next few seasons.
