After signing Ryan Sessegnon, Fulham have now bid for ‘outstanding’ Tottenham target

After ending his five year stay at Tottenham Hotspur this summer, left wing-back Ryan Sessegnon decided to return to Fulham and to Craven Cottage.

Spurs had high hopes for Sessegnon in 2019, a player who looked destined to play for England on a 🏅regular basis.

However, injuries have thwarted the 24-year-old ever since he moved to north London, meaning it was deemed ♏untenable for Tottenham to offer Sessegnon a new contract.

Fulham have taken 𒅌a risk signing their former favourite, hoping he can solve a number of positions🌜 on the left.

And just like Tottenham signing Dominic Solanke over the weekend🧜, it does𝄹n’t seem as if Fulham’s spending will stop there.

Ange Postecoglou still wants to 🅘add a defender to his back-line this summer, one that currently lacks depth for a Europa League campaign.

And after seeing Tosin Adarabioyo leave the club to join Chelsea on a free, Fulham are also seeking a similar profil🍨e.𒐪

That being said, after reports that To༒ttenham are considering a move for Joachim Andersen, Fulham have just had a bid rejecte🌱d for the Crystal 🅠Palace defender.

Fulham in talks to sign Tottenham target Joachim Andersen before August deadline

28-year-old Andersen has emerged as a su🎉rprise targ💎et for Spurs, considering Postecoglou’s starting pair are very settled.

Neither Andersen, Cristian Romero or Micky van de Ven would enjoy sitting oꦡn the bench regularly at any club this season – but perhaps that’s the level of competition Tottenham are seeking.

Either way, i📖f Spurs are seriously interested in a move, they may need to act fast.

As via journalist David Ornstein who shared his report via , Fulham have just submitted a £20m offer for their form꧋er defender, Andersen.

The offer falls short of Palace’s £40m asking price, but significantly, ta♚lks are continuing between the two clubs.

From Palace’s point𝓀 of view, it would seem odd to sell both Andersen and Marc Guehi in one window – with the latter also a target for Newcastle United.

But given how ‘outstanding’ Andersen has been for Palace in recent seasons, perhaps one of Fulham or Tottenham will decide𓆏 to pay the south Lond🗹on club’s asking price.

In other news, an interesting report has emerged about Lucas Bergvall’s immediate future at Tottenham.
