Real Madrid to bid for Ryan Sessegnon?

Real Madrid are reportedly gearing up to make a bid to sign Fulham's acclaimed teenager Ryan Sessegnon.

The 17-year-old, who can play at left-back or on the wing, has already attracted interest from a number of top Premier League sides following his performances for the Championship outfit.

Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are said to have watched the youngster closely in 2017, with the former allegedly gearing up for a £25m bid for his services in January.

According to AS, Madrid are now stepping up their own interest, with the club's scouts having "delivered top reports after watching him throughout the campaign".

Zinedine Zidane's side reportedly view Sessegnon as a potential long-term replacement for Marcelo, while Spurs view him as a potential replacement for Danny Rose.

Sessegnon, who is contracted at Craven Cottage until 2020, has been an ever-present for Fulham in the league so far this season, contributing five goals.
