Fulham's Ryan Sessegnon wants to join Tottenham over Manchester United this summer.

Spurs, United, Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus are all interested in the 18-year-old, who has one year remaining on his Fulham contract.

Sessegnon has made Spurs his first choice because he wants to stay in the capital, play Champions League football and, crucially, work under Mauricio Pochettino. The Spurs manager has a remarkable record of improving young English players and Harry Kane, Dele Alli, Kieran Trippier, Eric Dier and Danny Rose have all become regulars for the national team during his tenure.

Relegated Fulham are braced for Spurs to act on a long-standing interest in Sessegnon, although the north Londonders may wait until after the Champions League Final against Liverpool on June 1 to make a formal approach.

Spurs have not made a signing since Lucas Moura in January 2018 but Pochettino has called for the club to "operate in a different way" after this season and the Argentine is thought to be planning an overhaul of his squad.

Fulham value Sessegnon at around £40million, with Spurs keen to pay closer to £25m. It is thought a compromise should be reached between the clubs. Fulham are aware of the need to sell Sessegnon this summer because they would be due less than £500,000 in compensation if he moved abroad in the summer of 2020, at the end of his contract.

Sessegnon is currently an England Under-21 international and, despite a difficult first season at the top level, is still regarded as one of the brightest prospects in the country. He is expected to be part of Aidy Boothroyd’s squad for this summer’s European Under-21 Championships in Italy.

Despite playing in several different positions under managers Slavisa Jokanovic, Claudio Ranieri and Scott Parker this season, Sessegnon has scored twice and registered six assists in 35 league appearances.

His twin brother, Steven, is also admired outside Fulham but has far less first-team experience that Ryan. Steven is contracted until 2022 and is expected to be a key part of the squad in the Championship.
