Manchester United are set to battle Tottenham for the signature of Ryan Sessegnon after Liverpool pulled out of the race, according to reports.

The Anfield outfit had been in the driving seat for Fulham's 17-year-old, but it seems Jurgen Klopp has decided against signing him and it now looks like he is set to cross over to north London and Tottenham.

However, our friends at the Mirror are reporting that Jose Mourinho wants to snap up the youngster and is ready to battle Tottenham for his signature.

Sessegnon is yet to sign a professional contract at Fulham, but the club remain hopeful he will do so - however it looks likely that he will still move on to pasture new even if he does put pen to paper on a professional deal at Craven Cottage.

Meanwhile, Jozabed looks set to return to Fulham after Celta Vigo passed on their option to sign the midfielder, although the Spanish club remain interested in signing him permanently later in the summer.
