Liverpool have ended their interest in Ryan Sessegnon

According to Paul Joyce of The Times, Liverpool have now ended their interest in signing highly-rated Fulham teenager, Ryan Sessegnon.

Liverpool are in the market for a new left-back with Alberto Moreno expected to leave the club in the summer and Sessegnon was amongst Jurgen Klopp’s top targets.

The 17-year-old, who was named in the PFA Championship Team of the Year, has recently signed his first professional contract with Fulham following a tremendous breakthrough season, making 30 appearances, scoring seven goals and providing five assists.

Klopp’s side were leading the race for England U19 international but have now ended their interest in the teenager, with Tottenham now in pole position to land him.

Joyce also reports that Liverpool will be signing Chelsea striker Dominic Solanke when his contract expires at the end of next month.

The England U21 international has made just one senior appearance for Chelsea to date and is eager to pursue opportunities elsewhere. The compensation fee for the 20-year-old will be decided by a tribunal but is expected to be in the region of £2-3m and he will earn just under £20k-a-week.
