Liverpool leading race for Fulham starlet
Liverpool are reported to be leading the race to sign Fulham wonderkid Ryan Sessegnon at the end of the season.
The left-back has been a revelation since breaking into the Cottagers first team at the start of the season, and the scouts have been flocking to watch him in action.
Sessegnon is just 16 and is unable to sign a professional deal with Fulham until his next birthday in May, but he looks unlikely to stay at Craven Cottage with so many top clubs checking him out.
Chelsea boss Antonio Conte made a personal check during the recent FA Cup clash with Tottenham and is believed to have been very impressed with what he saw.
However, reports in the press claim that Reds boss Jurgen Klopp is leading the race for his signature and hopes to nip in ahead of Chelsea, Manchester City and Arsenal by securing a deal.
Fulham hope that whoever buys the youngster will agree to loan him back so he can continue his development with them, rather than be sat on the bench.
