Tottenham will make a fresh bid to sign Fulham sensation Ryan Sessegnon even though his asking price could reach £50million, according to the Sun.
The newspaper claim Spurs have been keeping a close eye on the 17-year-old sine he made his debut a year ago and made a move for him during the summer.
The Sun claim the Premier League giants still want Sessegnon and could make another move in the January window even though he chose to sign a new three-year deal at Craven Cottage and carry on playing at Championship level.
It is said that Tottenham plan to prise Sessegnon from Fulham as early as January as they regard him so highly, due to his similarities to their former superstar Gareth Bale.
Good move for Tottenham?
All the signs are that Sessegnon is that rarity, a young English player whose potential is off the scale. The Londoner has created a lot of buzz since his debut senior campaign ended with him named in the Championship team of the season, a stunning achievement for someone who did not even turn 17 until May. The word at Fulham since Sessegnon was 14 was that they had a player on their hands who was the best graduate yet of an academy that has also produced Moussa Dembele and Patrick Roberts in recent seasons.

Likely to happen?
There is a stampede of interest in the left-sided flyer with the world at his feet. Liverpool and Manchester United have been strongly linked with Sessegnon, and Tottenham will have to pay big money as well as seduce the teenager with a plan to make the most of his immense talent. Pochettino will be key. The Argentine has a proven track record for developing young players and knows how to make stars rather than simply buy them.
