Tottenham have been put on high alert after reported target Ryan Sessegnon switched agents ahead of a possible bidding war next summer.
Left-back Sessegnon and his twin brother Steven, both currently playing for Fulham, have moved over to Unique Sports Management, a company whose clients include Spurs star Harry Kane and Crystal Palace ace Wilfried Zaha.
The brothers, both 17, have made the move alongside their current agents Andy Niedzwiecki and Joe Russo.
As quoted by The Sun, USM CEO Will Salthouse said: “We are really excited to welcome Ryan and Steven in to the USM family, alongside their existing management team of Andy and Joe.
“They join a highly motivated and dedicated team who are committed to helping the guys achieve their career goals.”
The Sun claim that Fulham are already on the hunt for left-sided players to replace dazzling wide man Sessegnon, who is reportedly viewed by Spurs as a long-term replacement for Danny Rose.
Both brothers signed contract extensions at the Cottagers in the summer, and the fee for Ryan would have to be a large one if Spurs were to get their man.
Manchester United are also reported to be interested in Sessegnon, and it is thought that a tussle will ensue for his signature next summer.
OPINION
If Rose does leave north London, which is looking pretty likely, then Spurs would do very well to bring in Sessegnon to replace him. The 17-year-old has been a crucial part of Fulham’s side for the past two years, and he bagged an incredible hat-trick on his 50th appearance for the club earlier this season. He is a European U-19 champion with England, and is one of the country’s most highly-rated young talents at the minute. There is no doubt that the Lilywhites will have some stiff competition for his signature, and they will have to stump up an astronomical fee for the player. However, if Rose does go then the club should receive a sizeable fee for the 27-year-old, and would be able to reinvest that money into a deal for Sessegnon.
