Reports | Tottenham close in on a move for Ryan Sessegnon
Tottenham are finally closing in on highly-rated English star Ryan Sessegnon, with the North London side heavily linked with a move for him. Negotiations have been taking place for a while now and it looks like it's in it's final stages, with the two sides agreeing to a £30 million fee.
Fulham will face Barnsley on Saturday, and despite manager, Scott Parker's assurances, it is believed that Ryan Sessegnon will indeed leave Craven Cottage for Tottenham. The North London side have been heavily linked with a move for the young star, but it looks like negotiations are in the final stages, reports the Daily Mail.
The report further adds that both Tottenham and Fulham have agreed to a £30 million fee for the 19-year-old, with Spurs looking to reinforce their squad before the summer window closes. They’ve already sent a delegation to talk with representatives of Sporting Lisbon star Bruno Fernandes, with a potential £64 million move on the cards for the midfielder. The 24-year-old has been linked with a move to Manchester United, with Tottenham now taking the lead.
Spurs are also after Real Betis midfielder Giovanni Lo Celso after Mauricio Pochettino publicly vented his frustrations at the club’s lack of transfers. While they’ve already confirmed moves for Tanguy Ndombele and Jack Clarke, Tottenham have done nothing since. On the other hand, Spurs also hope to keep Christian Eriksen at the club and are willing to double the Danish midfielder’s wages amidst strong interest from Real Madrid.
