The Ryan Sessegnon to Spurs story has been rumbling along for some time, a hallmark of all too many of our transfer targets.
A source close to Tottenham Hotspur Football Club tells the Harry Hotspur blog that Pochettino doesn’t just want Ryan, the gaffer would very much like to also take Steven Sessegnon.
Twin brother Steven is a versatile youngster who has been described as a capable full-back and or centre-half.
This season saw him make the Fulham first team’s bench on 4 occasions, the closest he’s come to making his professional breakthrough yet. Prior to this, the 18 year old has worked his way through the Fulham Academy ranks, playing for the U18s and U23s.
What interests me about this ITK is that it suggests that the boys are both of decent character.
It is frankly futile to make any class of assessment about either lad, both have been playing for a side that has been for 90% of the season had the smell of doom about it.
The obvious negative – as hinted earlier – this is another one that has been on the boil for so long, one cannot help but feel the momentum will have been somewhat diminished.
