5 deals that could go through before Thursday’s Premier League transfer deadline

Ryan Sessegnon (Fulham to Tottenham)

If Tottenham were not involved in pushing more pressing transfer options, this would have certainly excited their fans. However, Ryan Sessegnon is still a fascinating prospect for the London side. Sessegnon plays as a left back but can also play as a left winger.

At only 19, he already seems world class, or at least close to it. With one year left on his current contract, an original £50 million valuation has been practically halved. Sessegnon is a consummate professional who, at a time when others like Lukaku, Neymar and Griezmann have sulked for transfers, has remained rather quiet and not made a fuss about his move. And this is despite playing for a club that frankly is below his standards.

Tottenham and Sessegnon would be perfect for each other in the sense, Spurs would greatly benefit from his versatility. Sessegnon would also vastly develop under Pochettino’s keen eyes. It is the Tottenham boss after all, who helped develop the likes of Harry Kane and Dele Ali after all.
