Fulham have reportedly started negotiations with young star Ryan Sessegnon over a new contract for the 18-year-old.
The BBC report that the club don’t foresee any stumbling blocks over the deal and are keen to tie the player to a long-term contract.
Sessegnon is regarded as one of the country’s brightest young talents having made his competitive debut at the age of 16.
He has since gone on to make 89 appearances for the West London club, to whom he is contracted until 2020.
The youngster, who plays predominantly on the left of Fulham’s front three, has represented England at every youth level up to U21 and is reportedly on Gareth Southgate’s radar for a senior call-up.
Sessegnon has adapted to the rigours of the Premier League impressively, starting five of the club’s six matches and providing an assist for Aleksandar Mitrovic against Tottenham Hotspur
Spurs are long-time admirers of the 18-year-old and his younger brother Steven, whilst the majority of England’s top clubs have been linked with a move for Ryan at one time or another.
