Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly been provided with a boost in their bid to sign Fulham youngster Ryan Sessegnon.

The 19-year-old has established himself as one of the most highly-regarded prospects in English football, making 120 appearances in the first team.

However, Fulham find themselves struggling to keep hold of their most prized asset due to their relegation from the Premier League this season.

The Cottagers have offered the left-sided player an extension to his current deal - which expires next summer - but The Guardian claims that the academy graduate has rejected the chance to remain with the West Londoners in the long term.

Spurs have frequently been linked with Sessegnon, leaving Fulham to decide whether they wish to cash in on the Englishman in the coming months.
