Arsenal and Liverpool in race to sign Fulham’s Sessegnon

Fulham prodigy, Ryan Sessegnon has attracted a lot of interest from Premier League clubs recently, namely Arsenal and Liverpool, according to Get West London.

The full-back played well for Fulham during their recent League Cup game against Leyton Orient, and has been likened to former Southampton and Tottenham Hotspur star Gareth Bale. While his manager, Slavisa Jokanovic, has hailed him as a future star.

I believe in the future he’ll be an important player in English football.

Both Arsenal and Liverpool, who play each other in their first game of the Premier League season this weekend, are looking for defensive options. Arsenal have lost Gabriel and Per Mertesacker to injury and are looking for an understudy to Nacho Monreal, while Jurgen Klopp wants someone to challenge Alberto Moreno.

Sessegnon’s League Cup game was his first professional game, which Fulham won 3-2. He was also called up to the England squad under-17 Euros this year, the side being beaten by Spain in the quarter-finals.

Arsenal have been relatively quiet in the transfer market so far, with Granit Xhaka their only big signing costing them £34 million from Borussia Monchengladbach.
