Liverpool, Man Utd interested as Fulham star set to spark bidding war

Fulham star Ryan Sessegnon is expected to spark a huge Premier League bidding war at the end of the season, according to a report.

The defender scored three times for the Championship side during their 5-4 win at Sheffield United on Tuesday night, becoming the first 17-year-old to score a hat-trick in one of England's top four tiers since Dele Alli.

Sessegnon is attracting interest from a number of high-profile clubs having impressed last season under Slavisa Jokanovic at Craven Cottage.

The teenager has been scouted by Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, and signed his first professional contract with Fulham back in June.

According to the Daily Mail however, this new deal will not put off potential suitors, as his new deal includes no minimum buy-out clause.

As a result, Fulham can command a substantial fee for their prized young asset, with the report claiming that the Lilywhites are likely to demand a fee in the region of £30million.

In addition, any potential departure hinges on Fulham not gaining promotion to the Premier League. With the club in 14th after 18 games though, their hopes are fading fast.

Liverpool, Tottenham & Man Utd In Battle To Sign £30m Defender

The transfer window may be closed but clubs are still working hard ahead of January and next summer so we'll bring you all the latest gossip from around the globe. Today, Ryan Sessegnon is in demand....

Liverpool, Tottenham and Manchester United are among the clubs set to do-battle over the signing of Fulham's £30m-rated defender Ryan Sessegnon this summer, according to a report by TeamTalk.

Sessegnon has been with Fulham since he was a child and progressed through the youth system to establish himself as a first team regular while he's also represented England at U19 youth level.

The 17-year-old has emerged as one of the hottest properties outside of the Premier League after enjoying a breakthrough year at Cravan Cottage last season that saw him score 7 goals in 31 appearances from left-back.

–– ADVERTISEMENT ––

He's continued to impress this season and became the first 17-year-old since Dele Alli to score a hat-trick in one of England's top tiers after netting three times during a 5-4 win over Sheffield United on Tuesday night.

Understandably, Sessegnon has attracted plenty of interest from the Premier League with TeamTalk claiming that Liverpool, Tottenham and United are all chasing the teenager while the likes of Arsenal and Chelsea are also understood to be keen.

Sessegnon signed his first professional contract with Fulham in June but that won't deter potential suitors as TeamTalk cite a report form the Daily Mail that says England's top clubs will go in for the left-back at the end of the season.

Fulham have been desperately trying to keep hold of their star man but must know the time will come to cash-in soon and the newspaper suggests the Championship side will demand a fee of around £30m.

That shouldn't be too much of a problem for clubs with the financial firepower of Liverpool, Spurs or United – especially for an young England international who's value will only increase.

We'll have to wait and see how things develop over the coming months but it's inevitable that Sessegnon will join one of the big clubs and it looks like there could be a bidding war over his signature this summer.

LG PERFORMANCE OF THE WEEK: JOKANOVIC'S FULHAM EDGE 9-GOAL THRILLER AGAINST HIGH FLYING SHEFFIELD UNITED


The League Managers Association's five-man panel, comprising LMA Chairman Howard Wilkinson, Sir Alex Ferguson, Joe Royle, Dave Bassett and Barry Fry, has determined that the LG Performance of the Week Award should go to Fulham for their 5-4 victory against promotion chasing Sheffield United on Tuesday 21st November 2017.

The experienced and highly distinguished panel has managed a combined total of over 6,000 competitive matches in professional football.

Fulham Manager Slavisa Jokanovic will receive a celebratory bottle of champagne, courtesy of Tanners Wines, and an LG Performance of the Week trophy in a presentation to commemorate the result.

Match Report
Ryan Sessegnon scored a hat-trick on his 50th Fulham appearance to help his side to an epic win at Sheffield United.

Sheyi Ojo also scored a brace on a bonkers night at Bramall Lane as the Whites secured an excellent victory over a side who were occupying second spot in the Sky Bet Championship.

Leon Clarke netted either side of quickfire goals from Ojo and Sessegnon, before the latter volleyed his side into a half-time 3-2 lead.

Ojo gave the Whites daylight after the break before Sessegnon ensured he'd be taking the match-ball home, although the hosts made it be a nervy finale when Samir Carruthers' deflected strike went in prior to Clarke also completing his hat-trick.

Five times that Fulham have left the fans breathless, including Tuesday night's 5-4 victory over Sheffield United

The Cottagers have a history of featuring in frantic fixtures; we take a look at five times that Fulham have provided 5-star entertainment value.

Slavisa Jokanovic is probably close to getting heart-rate back to normal after a frantic night in south Yorkshire on Tuesday night.

Fulham's result against Sheffield United was one of the most memorable games in recent memory, but fans of the Cottagers must be used to these restless games by now, with them being a semi-regular occurance in recent years.

With that in mind we've taken a look at some examples of Fulham's most exciting contests over the years.

Birmingham City 3-4 Fulham - 18th August 1979
The season may have ended in relegation, but the opening day victory showed that Fulham weren't going anywhere without a fight.

Birmingham looked comfortable after taking a three-goal lead into the half-time break, but a hat-trick from Gordon Davies and a Chris Guthrie effort handed the Cottagers the victory.

Britain's first heart transplant patient, Fulham fan Keith Castle went into the operating theatre at half-time of this clash, when he came round and found out that Fulham had won he allegedly told the doctors "Now you know why I'm in here!".

Portsmouth 4-4 Fulham - 1st Janauary 1985
Fulham battled the elements as they fought back from 4-0 down to secure a point in Hampshire.

Dean Coney struck to make it 4-1 after 74 minutes before three goals by Leroy Rosenior, Gary Barnett and Kevin Lock brought the game level.

Fulham 5-2 Newcastle - 21st January 2012
A stunning game which saw Fulham battle from behind to secure an emphatic win.

Despite going behind early on, Danny Murphy scored a penalty to peg Newcastle back.

Two goals from Clint Dempsey and one from Bobby Zamora made it 4-1 before Hatem Ben Arfa looked to give the visitors some hope.

However a third goal from Dempsey secured a thrilling win for the Whites at the Cottage.

Arsenal 3-3 Fulham - 10th November 2012
The Cottagers feared the worst at the Emirates when Olivier Giroud and Lukas Podolski put the hosts 2-0 up after 23 minutes, before Dimitar Berbatov and Alexander Kacaiklic ensured Fulham went in level at the break.

Berbatov gave the visitors a surprise lead from the penalty spot before Giroud clawed the result back for the Gunners.

Sheffield United 4-5 Fulham - 21st November 2017
One of the most stunning games in recent memory.

The clash at Bramall had absolutely everything as Fulham twisted and turned to a victory in south Yorkshire.

Hat-tricks from wonderkid Ryan Sessegnon and former-QPR striker Leon Clarke set the game on it's way, leaving the fans gasping for breath by the time the final whistle went.

'We were fuming!' Sunderland boss Chris Coleman remembers the day snow foiled Fulham on Wearside

Chris Coleman was Fulham manager when a blizzard at the Stadium of Light helped Sunderland avoid setting an unwanted record


Referee Mike Riley (R) consults Fulham manager Chris Coleman (Image: Getty Images Europe)

Chris Coleman had a ringside seat as Sunderland narrowly avoided writing their name into the history books for all the wrong reasons a decade ago - and now he wants to draw a line under the Black Cats' current record-breaking run.

Sunderland's 2-2 draw against Millwall last weekend was their 20th successive home game in all competitions without a win, an English record.

Their last home win came against Watford on December 17 and new boss Coleman is desperate to put an end to that interminable wait when he takes charge of his first game at the Stadium of Light against Reading a week on Saturday.

Coleman was in the dugout - albeit the opposition dugout - when a blizzard came to Sunderland's rescue when they came close to setting another unwanted record in their 2005-06 Premier League relegation season, by becoming the first English side to go through an entire season without a win on home soil.

The Black Cats' clash with Fulham - then managed by Coleman - at the Stadium of Light on April 8 was played amidst a snowstorm, when it was abandoned with the Londoners leading through Brian McBride's ninth-minute goal.

Sunderland had lost Rory Delap to a broken nose sustained in a collision with teammate George McCartney that was caused by the slippy conditions.

As the blizzard got worse and the pitch became ever more treacherous, referee Mike Riley consulted with his fourth official Eddie Ilderton three times before speaking to Coleman and Sunderland's caretaker-boss Kevin Ball, and then telling the players to head for the dressing rooms.

The match was rescheduled for Thursday, May 4, Sunderland had lost two more home games in the meantime, and Fulham's visit was their last chance.

And goals from on-loan Liverpool forward Anthony Le Tallec in the 32nd minute and Chris Brown in the 57th minute were enough to clinch victory, despite Tomasz Radzinski's 76th minute consolation.

Coleman recalled: "I came here with Fulham and we played in the snow, we were 1-0 up and the referee stopped the game. We were fuming.

"When we came back when it was the last home game, and we lost 2-1.

"Kevin Ball was the Sunderland manager.

"It was tough times here then."

But as he looks to bring better times back to Wearside, Coleman added: "The supporters who have been connected with this club for years and years have seen it all.

"They've seen ups and they've seen downs. The club is on a downer at the minute, but you don't stay on a downer for ever – just like you don't stay on a high forever, either.

"I have to be optimistic. If I'm pessimistic, why should anybody else say they are going to follow me?

"I have to be the one to say 'come on, it's not so good at the minute but it can get better'.

"And that's why we want to end this wait for a home win as quickly as possible."

Fulham Supports Rainbow Laces Campaign

On Saturday 25th November, Fulham Football Club will be taking part in the EFL's campaign to support and promote LBGT+ inclusivity during our match against Millwall.

In a League first, EFL Clubs across the country will unite in their support of LGBT+ inclusivity by turning their corner flags rainbow coloured to raise awareness of Stonewall's Rainbow Laces campaign. This Rainbow Laces campaign aims to make sport everyone's game with national teams, leading clubs, professional players, fans and grassroots players from across football showing their support for LGBT+ people in sport. Football clubs throughout the League will be taking part in a wide range of activities from 25 November to 3 December 2017 to show their support for the Rainbow Laces campaign.


Shaun Harvey, EFL Chief Executive said: "We are proud to support Stonewall's Rainbow Laces campaign again for this season. Ensuring a safe and welcoming environment for supporters attending EFL matches remains a key priority but the EFL and our Clubs are committed to providing a positive experience for all that stretches well beyond the 90 minutes of play.

"Our specific Rainbow Laces initiatives this year will see all EFL Clubs come together to raise awareness of this important issue delivered through a range of activities which this season include converting all corner flags at EFL grounds up and down the country into rainbow colours. This follows the introduction of the bespoke EFL rainbow logo which celebrated the League's burgeoning relationship with Stonewall earlier this year.

"The campaign very much complements the ongoing work our Clubs are undertaking as part of the EFL Equality Code of Practice. Whilst acknowledging there has been progress made in this area, there is still work to be done. We can never be complacent and that is why the EFL remains committed to supporting campaigns such as this as we continue to promote diversity and inclusivity across all areas of the game."

Referencing this campaign, Stonewall Chief Executive Ruth Hunt added: "We need to create a culture where everyone can be themselves. From fans, to teams, and employees at all levels, when leadership organisations step up and commit to creating a welcoming and inclusive culture in football, everyone wins."
Fulham FC Captain, Tom Cairney, said: "I'm happy to support this campaign which promotes diversity and inclusivity in football. Fulham FC is a warm and inclusive club and Craven Cottage has a welcoming atmosphere. It's good to see the League and its member clubs working towards raising awareness and supporting the initiative."

In Focus: Tottenham may baulk at potential price tag of the in demand Sessegnon

According to reports in the Daily Mail, Tottenham Hotspur target Ryan Sessegnon has no buy-out clause in his Fulham contract which could mean that there is a bidding war for the in demand 17-year-old's services at the end of the season.

What's the word,then?
Well, Spurs were heavily linked with the left-sided player during the summer transfer window following an impressive breakthrough campaign for the Cottagers, and Sessegnon has been in brilliant form again this term.

The 17-year-old scored a hat-trick as his team beat Sheffield United 5-4 in the Championship on Tuesday night, and the Daily Mail says that as well as Mauricio Pochettino's men, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United have all scouted the teenager.

While the report adds that Fulham feel they are in a strong position after he signed a three-year deal with them in June, they know that the highly-rated player – who can feature at left-back or in a more advanced role on the flank – will leave next year if they don't secure promotion to the Premier League and they will demand at least £30m for him.

Transfer Talk: Tottenham target has no buy-out clause

Tottenham Hotspur target Ryan Sessegnon is likely to leave Fulham if they fail to secure promotion to the Premier League this season, according to the Daily Mail.

The Mail also report that Sessegnon's contract at the Cottagers does not contain a release clause, and a minimum price tag of £30million has been set for the young left-back.

Sessegnon made English football history over the weekend when he became the first teenager since Dele Alli to score a hat-trick in the top four leagues, as Fulham beat Sheffield United 5-4 in a thriller.

The left-sided starlet has reportedly been scouted by Spurs, Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, and Chelsea, and there is expected to be a "big bidding war" for his services if Fulham fail in their quest for promotion.

The Sun reported last month that Tottenham plan to prise Sessegnon from Fulham as early as January as they regard him so highly, due to his similarities to their former superstar Gareth Bale.

Good move for Tottenham Hotspur?

Spurs were heavily linked with a move for the young sensation over the summer, and it is easy to see why.

Sessegnon is only 17, and yet has 50 appearances for Fulham under his belt already. In those 50 games, he has scored an impressive 11 goals from left-back.

With Danny Rose's long-term future at Spurs in doubt, Sessegnon would represent a perfect replacement for Tottenham.

He is a similar player in many ways to Rose, providing a lightning-quick option down the left, but in fact offers more goal threat than the 27-year-old.

This is Futbol rating: 9/10

Likely to happen?

As reported, it is all dependent on Fulham's performance this season but there is a growing chance that Tottenham could sign him next summer as the Championship club are 14th in the league, and six points off the play-off places.

If the Cottagers do achieve promotion then Sessegnon will most likely stay at the club. He is more likely to get game time there than anywhere else in the Premier League, and has been at the club his whole youth career.

If they fail however, then Sessegnon will most likely look elsewhere. Tottenham are a known admirer of him and the lure of playing under Pochettino would be a big factor for such a young player.

This is Futbol rating: 5/10

Sheffield United fans want Blades to sign Fulham's Kevin McDonald in January

The Fulham midfielder spent two years on Sheffield United's books.

Some Sheffield United supporters want their former midfielder Kevin McDonald brought back to Bramall Lane from Fulham in January.

McDonald spent two seasons on Sheffield United's books, but left for the Blades then League One rivals, Wolverhampton Wanderers, in August 2013.

After winning promotion that season, the Scot has since established himself as one of the Championship's best midfielders, moving on to Fulham, with whom he reached the play-offs last season, in August 2016.

But with Sheffield United on the lookout for Paul Coutts replacements this winter, after the 29-year-old suffered a broken leg against Burton Albion last week, some Blades fans see McDonald - who is out of contract in 18 months' time - as the perfect fit.

Others - such as those who booed the Fulham player during Tuesday's 5-4 defeat to the London side - will surely disagree, however, with his Bramall Lane exit continuing to leave a sour taste.

Championship club value Man United & Tottenham target at £50m

Fulham value Manchester United and Tottenham transfer target Ryan Sessegnon at £50m.

Fulham hope for a bidding war as the player does not have a buy-out clause in his contract.

The 17-year-old recently signed his first professional with the club over the summer.

Sensational Sessegnon
The 17-year-old left-back is considered to be one of the talents brightest prospects.

The player, who can also play as a left-winger, has netting 11 times in 50 appearances for his club side.

The England under-19 star showed his goal-scoring prowess on Tuesday evening, scoring a hat-trick in Fulham's 5-4 win at Sheffield United.

This feat makes him the youngest player to have hit a treble in England's top four tiers, becoming the first 17-year-old to do so since Dele Alli.

His incredible talent has lead to the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United and Tottenham all scouting him on occasions.

Three-year contract
His new contract, which he signed last summer, is not expected to faze clubs interested in obtaining his signature.

Reports claim that the Cottagers are demanding at least £30m for his signature.

Fulham believe, however, that with no buy-out clause in his contract a bidding war could be sparked.

Over the summer, the player revealed that he turned down offers from numerous Premier League clubs in favour of regular first-team football in West London.

Rose replacement
Tottenham are the club most interested in signing the Fulham academy prodigy.

Spurs attempted to sign him over the summer but were unsuccessful, as they failed to guarantee him regular first-team football.

Next summer could be a very different situation, however, with Danny Rose looking destined for the exit door at the club.

Tottenham, in particular, Mauricio Pochettino, pride themselves on nurturing young talents, shown by the development of Harry Kane, Harry Winks, Danny Rose and Kyle Walker.

The Arginine head coach has turned them all from exciting young talents into four players who have lit up the Champions League this season.

This may well be a key factor in Sessegnon's decision, which is excepted to make at the end of the current season.

Blow for Arsenal and Man City as O'Riley signs new deal on Fulham

Matt O'Riley has reportedly snubbed Manchester City and Arsenal by signing a new contract with Fulham.

17-year-old O'Riley has put pen to paper on his first professional deal with Fulham, snubbing, as the Sun claims, City and Arsenal in the process.

"Obviously this is one of the best birthdays I've ever had," he told Fulham's website.

"It's a great day for me and my family, I've been here since I was eight-years-old.

"This means a lot to me and I am just looking forward to kicking on now."

The midfielder has apparently been training with the Cottagers' first team and made his debut against Wycombe during the first round of the League Cup back in August. He's since only made one more appearance for Slavisa Jokanovic's side. However, he's featured eight times for the reserves in Premier League 2, providing one assist.

At his age, the England u18 international is probably quite happy staying at Fulham. He was born in Hounslow and has been at the club since 2008 when he was just eight years old. Therefore, at the very least, it'll be a team he has close connections to.

O'Riley has already made the first step of breaking into their senior team and signing his first professional deal. It's not as if he's stagnating or failing to get the opportunities he deserves. At a club like City or Arsenal, who both have strong academies, he'll have far more competition and, as a result, less of a chance to prove himself.

The teenager's probably made the right decision by staying put, whether Arsenal really wanted to sign him or not.

Tottenham must spend club-record £50m to sign Ryan Sessegnon - and Levy should respond wisely

Fulham reportedly want £50million for Tottenham target Ryan Sessegnon.

According to The Sun, Fulham will demand a £50million fee for star teenager Ryan Sessegnon amid strong interest from Tottenham Hotspur.

Left wing back Sessegnon, 17, has come up through the ranks with Fulham having joined the club at the age of just eight, and he has now become a first-team star at Craven Cottage.

The England Under-19 international has hit the headlines once again this week having hit a hat-trick in the 5-4 win over Sheffield United on Tuesday night, with mounting interest in his signature.

The Sun now claim that Fulham will demand a huge £50million fee for Sessegnon, and whilst a £35million bid could get them thinking, it seems that the Cottagers will for interested clubs to pay an enormous fee.

Tottenham Hotspur are one club who have registered a strong interest in Sessegnon, though that £50million asking price would mean that Spurs have to break their transfer record to land him.

Fulham's asking price gives Spurs chairman Daniel Levy a chance to act wisely, as it may be smart for Spurs to pay the fee required – or somebody else will, and Sessegnon is ideal for Spurs given questions over Danny Rose's future.

Rose continues to be linked with a move away from Spurs, but if Fulham are demanding £50million for Sessegnon, then Levy would be smart to slap a similar asking price on Rose's head, given that he is already one of the Premier League's top left backs and an England international.

Sessegnon replacing Rose could be perfect for Spurs, but they won't want to take a loss in making such a move, and it's imperative that Levy gets a similar fee for Rose as he did for Kyle Walker - and given his negotiating history, he may well manage it.

Exclusive: Millwall looking to secure former Fulham defender on long-term contract

Neil Harris has confirmed Millwall are in contract talks with Shaun Hutchinson – and says the club do not just wish to trigger an option clause in his deal.

The 27-year-old centre-back faces former club Fulham tomorrow and has been one of their best performers this season.

And while the Lions do not need to worry about losing the Geordie defender in the summer, boss Harris is seeking to secure his services on a long-term basis.

"Hutch has got an option in his contract but we are in conversation about keeping him for longer," said the Millwall manager.

"His family have relocated, moving to Bromley, and his form has been good. He is a player we certainly want to keep at the club a long time.

"We're in discussion at the moment with his adviser to see if we can tie him down for longer, give him some security and let him grow as a player.

"He typifies the model of player I try to bring in. We ideally want them between the age of 22-27 so that they are coming into their prime.

"Hutch has worn the captain's armband and I see leadership qualities in him in the way he plays and the way he lives his life, his demeanour around the training ground.

"He has that work ethic. We are working on getting more of a voice out of him on the pitch – but that is coming with every day. He has been excellent for me, I've really enjoyed working with him."

Hutchinson was released by Fulham in June 2016. Hamstring problems blighted him during the first half of Millwall's promotion campaign but he came back to become first-choice in the crunch closing months.

The defender, who started his career at Motherwell, has played every minute for the Lions in the Championship.

"He is a real warrior. A Millwall centre-half – aggressive and brave," said Harris. "First and foremost he can defend. Maybe at Fulham he fell a little bit short because they wanted to play a little more football and he didn't quite fit for that.

"He had a few injuries when he first came to us. He didn't arrive in the best of shape through lack of games and conditioning. We had to learn how to get the best out of him and keep him 100 per cent fit."

Millwall defender: Derby at Fulham is exactly why club grafted so hard for promotion

Conor McLaughlin is enjoying every minute of his first season in the Championship – and won't let anything dent his spirits.

The summer signing from Fleetwood Town has been an ever-present in the league for Millwall.

And McLaughlin reckons this weekend's derby at Fulham was the kind of fixture which motivated the Lions to fight their way out of League One.

"That's why we wanted to get promoted last season, to play teams like that," said the Northern Ireland international. "That's why the lads are enjoying it at the minute – even though the last few results haven't been perfect.

"You've got to enjoy it, football is a short career. I'm buzzing to have made the step-up.

"You see some of the team-sheets and some of the players, they've played Premier League for a long time. It's not going to be easy each week – we don't have the right to go out and beat teams left, right and centre.

"We've shown we're holding our own. No team has blown us away. We've got faith in our own ability as a team. We know we can change it."

McLaughlin has praised Jordan Archer for recovering from a below-par display at Sunderland – where he conceded two soft goals – as he followed up with a seventh shutout in 18 Championship appearances.

"He's a naturally confident lad and he knows he has saved us a lot of times this season," said McLaughlin. "He's made some crucial saves in big moments.

"He's got faith in his ability – and so do we. Mistakes are going to happen to every player throughout the season but it's a really good dressing room in the sense we rally around."
