Spurs transfer news: Tottenham interested in moving for Steven Sessegnon after failed summer bid
The Sun reports that Tottenham are eyeing a move for Fulham youngster Steven Sessegnon after a summer move failed.
Sessegnon’s brother, Ryan, joined the club from the Championship side in the summer and is yet to play under Mauricio Pochettino.
The former Fulham star can play as a left-back or as a left-winger, while Steven has starred as the Cottagers’ right-back this season.
The report adds that Tottenham had lodged a £3million offer to land Steven when they tried to sign Ryan in the summer for £25m.
Fulham rejected that bid for the 19-year-old but Tottenham
Sessegnon having a fine season for Fulham
The Cottagers are attempting to return to the Premier League this season and are placed sixth after six games.
Steven has impressed at right-back this campaign, but the youngster can play as a centre-back and in the midfield too.
The right-back is one of the brightest talents in the current Fulham side and could solve our issues at the back.
Steven would develop into a quality defender under Mauricio Pochettino and we would have two youngsters fighting for the right-back spot. Kyle Walker-Peters has looked good this season but is out with a minor injury.

Steven battling Walker-Peters for the spot would be great, and we could have the Sessegnon brothers on either side of the defence.
