Tottenham want to complete a deal for Fulham teenager Ryan Sessegnon before the Champions League final on Saturday, according to Football Insider. 

Talks have been ongoing for over two weeks now and Tottenham are now locked in dialogue over the structure of the deal that would represent their first summer signing.

The report claims that RB Leipzig, Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United are all interested too but that Spurs are hopeful that they have done the work needed to get the deal over the line.

FI state that while Tottenham want to get the deal done this week, they are unlikely to announce Sessegnon before the Champions League final on Saturday evening.

OPINION

Daniel Levy is renowned for leaving his business until the end of the transfer window, but there are definite positives for swooping early. In this instance, Sessegnon is a player who has been linked with Tottenham for a while and with other teams interested, it makes sense to try and get a deal done as soon as possible. After making no transfers for two windows, it would be an absolutely incredible start to the summer if Tottenham announced a £20m+ deal for Sessegnon after winning the Champions League. That would be a script that even the most hardened Tottenham fan would have thought improbable, but it’s a few days away from being a reality. If Spurs do the Sessegnon deal, we don’t expect the teenager to be the only new name in at north London, but he will be one of the most exciting. He didn’t have a standout season for Fulham but his potential under Mauricio Pochettino will have every Tottenham fan licking his lips. Sessegnon has been around the first-team for a while and it’s incredible to think that he’s still only 18-years-old. His future and the future of Tottenham are very bright indeed.
