Tottenham are showing strong interest in Fulham youngster Ryan Sessegnon.

Spurs are the latest club to follow the 16-year-old after both Arsenal and Liverpool were thought to have made enquiries.

The defender has been compared to Gareth Bale and played for the senior side in their EFL Trophy match at Leyton Orient last week. Fulham, however, are in no rush to sell the player. Offers of £3million were discussed but it is understood Fulham would be looking for a far higher fee.

Sessegnon has been coached by Huw Jennings, the Fulham academy director who is hugely respected for his work with young players. At Southampton, Jennings helped develop Bale, Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
