PSG Reportedly Join Race for £30M Fulham Star Ryan Sessegnon

Paris Saint-Germain have reportedly joined a host of Europe's top clubs in pursuing Fulham left-back Ryan Sessegnon, with the French giants "desperate" to sign the 17-year-old. 

According to John Cross in the Mirror, PSG have been keeping tabs on Sessegnon during the 2017-18 season and are keen to sign the £30 million-rated teenager ahead of fellow suitors Tottenham Hotspur, Real Madrid, Manchester United and Manchester City. 

Cross added the Paris outfit could launch a bid for Sessegnon during the January transfer window, although Fulham are reportedly "determined" to keep him until the end of the season at least.

Sessegnon does not turn 18 until May, yet he has already established himself as one of English football's hottest prospects and one of the best players in the Championship.

He has started all 26 of Fulham's league games in 2017-18 and netted seven goals and provided four assists, per WhoScored.com:

Of those 26 fixtures, he has played as a left-back or left wing-back in 19 of them and as a winger in the other seven.

As Cross noted, there is an expectation that Sessegnon could, like Gareth Bale, eventually flourish as an attacking player despite having established himself in a defensive role on the left flank.

The prestige of the clubs being linked with Sessegnon is indicative of just how highly rated he is after barely a season-and-a-half in the Fulham first team.

He boasts immense attacking potential while also displaying defensive qualities and a maturity that belies his youth.

PSG have the financial clout to tempt Fulham into selling their prized asset, but then so do Real, Spurs and both Manchester clubs.

In a boost for the Cottagers as they look to earn as much money as possible from their player, it could come down to a bidding war for Sessegnon between a number of Europe's biggest clubs.

However, if PSG are desperate to beat the competition, they could move now with a big-money bid that Fulham would likely find hard to refuse.
