Spurs are locked in a battle with Liverpool and Man Utd for an England U21 star, while the Red Devils face competition for a major target, according to Friday’s European papers.

 

PREM TRIO DO BATTLE FOR £50M ENGLAND STARLET

Liverpool and Man Utd have compiled ‘detailed reports’ on Fulham starlet Ryan Sessegnon ahead of a potential summer move, a report claims.

We revealed in February that Spurs were tracking both Ryan and his brother Steven Sessegnon, and hoped to conclude a £40m+ double deal deal this summer.

Multiple clubs were reportedly been tracking Ryan last summer, who is considered one of the brightest English prospects, but Fulham’s promotion to the Premier League meant they put a move on hold.

Now, a Bleacher Report claims that Spurs are joined by Liverpool and Manchester United in their interest, with both clubs having monitored Sessegenon in recent months.

They claim that the aforementioned duo have ‘scouting reports detailing every element of his play’, however they also go on to state that Spurs ‘are the club that would tempt him most’.

The England U21 star is apparently valued at around £50million, and has stalled on signing a new deal at Craven Cottage giving suitors a boost.
