Fulham starlet Ryan Sessegnon has agreed to a new three-year deal at the Championship club amid interest from several Premier League sides, according to the Mirror.

The news outlet have detailed on their website on Wednesday that the 17-year-old left-back has snubbed a move to the English top-flight as he seeks to continue his development at a club where he is guaranteed match time.

A number of Premier League sides were certainly interested in signing the English Under-19 wonderkid and Tottenham have been the most heavily linked in recent months.

The Mirror report even states that Spurs were leading the chase for the player, who has also been compared to former star Gareth Bale.

However, it now looks like they may have to wait a while longer before he can line-up for the White Hart Lane outfit.

Sessegnon made his senior debut for Fulham last August in an EFL Cup clash against Leyton Orient and he soon became a standout star for the Cottagers, playing 31 times in all competitions while even scoring seven goals and providing five assists from his defensive position.

He was also named in the PFA Championship team of the Year in his debut campaign and it will be a massive boost to the promotion chasing Fulham team if he remains next season.
