Sessegnon would be a better option for Tottenham than Kurzawa

Tottenham Hotspur are supposedly lining up a bid for Fulham starlet Ryan Sessegnon.

The north Londoners are reported by The Daily Mail to be preparing a £50 million offer for the English teenager, who is said to be stalling over a new deal at Craven Cottage.

Sessegnon has already made 112 appearances for Fulham, having burst onto the scene at the tender age of 16.

This term, he has made 29 appearances, scoring two goals.

His slightly reduced role has seemingly not put Tottenham off, with the club ready to flash the cash after two transfer windows of stagnation.

Better than Kurzawa?

Tottenham have also recently been linked with a move for Paris Saint-Germain full-back Layvin Kurzawa (Calciomercato).

The Frenchman is out of contract in 2020 and there has been speculation Spurs could swoop.

The Lilywhites would surely be better off going for Sessegnon though, who has shown frightening potential in his fledgling career so far.

The goalscoring defender, who can also operate as a winger, is one of the brightest young English talents around.

It is easy to forget that he is still only 18, but he already has an impressive amount of experience.

Kurzawa is back in the PSG starting XI now but has only made nine appearances this term having struggled with injury.

Despite being considerably older than Sessegnon, he arguably doesn’t have the same zest and drive as the youngster, which is something that would be ideal for the Tottenham team.

Pochettino has developed English talents like Harry Kane and Dele Alli, and Luke Shaw previously at Southampton – Sessegnon could be next to benefit.
