England Under-19s star Sessegnon has attracted huge Premier League interest during the summer transfer window.

He is in the Fulham squad to face Leeds at Elland Road tonight despite Spurs' interest, according to the Telegraph.

Mauricio Pochettino's side are said to also have an interest in Ryan's twin brother Steven.

He made his first team debut in the EFL cup against Wycombe in August.

The siblings, who are from South West London, are reportedly happy at Fulham and have put no pressure on the club to sell.

If Fulham were to sell Ryan it is thought he would go for a fee close to the £25.5m Manchester United paid for Wayne Rooney in August 2004.

That fee for 18-year-old Roo remains the most ever paid for an English teenager footballer.

Were a side to go in for Ryan with a higher offer then there is the chance he could become the most expensive English teenager ever.

SunSport featured Ryan in our Championship XI to watch out for this season.

Manchester United, Liverpool and Manchester City have all shown a keen interest in signing him.
