Crystal Palace now want to sign a player Tottenham secured for £25m but Fulham also interested- report

According to a report in South London Press, Crystal Palace have moved to sign newly released Tottenham star Ryan Sessegnon. The 24-year-old brought an injury-plagued spell in north London to an end after both player and the club agreed it was best to go their separate ways this summer. 

Palace are looking at going places after winning six of their last seven league games to jump from 14th on the league table to 10, impressively finishing ahead of nemesis Brighton and Hove Albion. 

The Eagles are looking at generating healthy competition at their left-back spot with England international Tyrick Mitchell the club's first choice in that spot, but Sessegnon who Spurs paid an impressive £25million to sign in 2019 can play there as well as a left-sided midfielder or even a left-sided winger.

He was regarded as one of the best youngsters in English football when he helped Fulham win the Championship and gain promotion to the Premier League before earning his big-money move to Spurs in 2019. 

Before turning 19, Sessegnon had played 120 games but that eventually caught up with him. He’s had two hamstring injuries requiring him to take surgery, which has kept him out for large parts of his time at the club. 

Last season, he only managed seven minutes as injury struck again to devastating effects. 

Fulham interest real

LondonWorld has been told Fulham are also looking at bringing the 24-year-old to Craven Cottagers especially now that he’s a free agent and his versatility to fill in several important roles. 

The club are aware that he’s played little football since he moved to Tottenham but are also aware that he’s taken two important steps to correct the injury and could be a cheap option to strengthen their squad.
