Sessegnon believes Tottenham is the ideal club for him to continue his development

Fulham midfielder Ryan Sessegnon’s preference is to remain in London and move to Tottenham this summer, according to the Evening Standard.

They report that the English starlet has attracted interest from European superpowers Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain and Borussia Dortmund, but is ready to snub them as he believes Tottenham is the best place to continue his development.

Sessegnon is apparently valued at around £20m-£25m by the Cottagers, and feels Spurs is the ideal club at which to continue his development.

It’s inferred that this is because of the amount of English talent Mauricio Pochettino has given a debut to during his time in north London.

Sessegnon has seen on a smaller scale at Fulham how heavy spending can impact his gametime, and is right to fear that happening again if he went to either Juventus or PSG.

Borussia Dortmund have done wonders with Jadon Sancho and have a proud record – just like Spurs – when it comes to youth development.

But it’s understandable that Sessegnon wants to stay in England, where he is settled, because for every Sancho, there’s a Reece Oxford, who struggled to adapt in Germany.

All the elements are in place and now that Sessegnon’s relegation and contract situation have conspired to reduce his asking price, it would be a genuine surprise if Daniel Levy wasn’t muscling himself to the front of the queue.
