Fulham youngster Ryan Sessegnon will be offered a new long-term contract in a bid to fend off potential suitors for the winger.
The Daily Mail write that the club will begin negotiations with Sessegnon and his representatives ‘imminently’.
The 18-year-old has found the transition to Premier League football relatively easy going, featuring in all of the club’s nine league matches to date.
Sessegnon, who has been deployed on the left of the front-three, scored his first goal of the season in the 4-2 loss to Cardiff City.
The player is highly thought of at international level, having established himself with the England U21’s, and is thought to be in the running for a senior call-up before the end of the season as Gareth Southgate continues to blood young players.
Sessegnon has been continually linked with a move away from Craven Cottage over the past two years or so but is contracted to the West London club until the summer of 2020.
Securing the star’s long-term future is high on the to-do list of Slavisa Jokanovic and the Fulham board, and negotiations will begin shortly.
