Soccer-Tottenham sign Sessegnon from Fulham - reports

Tottenham Hotspur has finally completed the signing of 19-year-old Fulham winger Ryan Sessegnon on a five-year deal, local media reported on Thursday. The Premier League club has been tracking England under 21 international throughout the close season and is reported to have paid a transfer fee that could rise to 30 million pounds ($36.44 million).

Tottenham was yet to comment on the deal which is expected to see 22-year-old midfielder Josh Onomah move the other way. Sessegnon, who plays either left-back or further forward, became one of the hottest properties in English football when he helped Fulham gain promotion to the Premier League in 2018.

He was a regular for them last season as they were relegated back to the Championship. Sessegnon fits the profile of player favored by Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino: young, athletic and capable of playing in different positions.

He will create stiff competition for England international Danny Rose who looks set to stay at the club despite being linked with a move away. Sessegnon is Tottenham's second major signing of the transfer window after they paid around 63 million pounds for powerful Lyon midfielder Tanguy Ndombele. ($1 = 0.8233 pounds)
