Fulham’s teenage sensation Ryan Sessegnon is a target for pretty much all of the top clubs in England but, according to reports, he would prefer a move to Liverpool over joining Chelsea, Manchester City, Manchester United or Tottenham.
The 17-year-old has scored 10 goals in his last 12 league games, leading to some calls for him to be included in England’s World Cup squad for this summer’s tournament in Russia.
Liverpool were linked with a move for the teenager last summer but he chose to stay at Fulham as he wanted to continue playing regular first-team football. He was worried that a move to a top six club would result in him playing U23 football, something he had no interest in doing.
However, his exploits for Fulham this season have been so impressive that it’s easy to see him being involved in a first-team squad at a Champions League club next year.
Sessegnon, who grew up as a Liverpool fan, recently signed a contract that means he’s tied down at Fulham until 2020 so any side who wants him will have to pay a huge fee, somewhere in the £35m range.
