Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly set to include youngster Josh Onomah in a £30 million swoop for Fulham starlet Ryan Sessegnon.

According to The Daily Mail, Spurs are ready to ramp up their interest in the English teenager having long been linked with him.

The transfer window closes on Thursday, and it would appear Daniel Levy is ready to make a late push for the left-footer, who is into the final year of his contract at Craven Cottage.

That’s despite manager Scott Parker having said he expects to keep the precocious talent this summer (West London Sport).

In order to drag the deal over the line, Spurs are ready to throw Onomah into the deal.

Onomah has two years left on his contract, but is seemingly some way off breaking into the first-team as a regular.

At this point, it’s important for Spurs to just secure the deal.

They could risk waiting until January for his value to drop, but there’s a chance another team could come in.

Sessegnon has exciting potential and Onomah is now 22 years of age and hasn’t really ever threatened to break into Mauricio Pochettino’s starting XI.

It makes sense for Spurs to use him as a sweetener to help them land Sessegnon, who could be a first-teamer for years to come at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
