Borussia Dortmund and Sessegnon hatch Fulham exit plan

Borussia Dortmund are eyeing Fulham wing-back Ryan Sessegnon.

The Sun says Sessegnon is ready to see out his Fulham contract — then sign for Borussia Dortmund.

The England Under-21 winger is wanted by Tottenham this summer but will now consider playing in the Championship for the final year of his deal.

And Bundesliga giants Dortmund are interested in signing the 18-year-old on a pre-contract next January — when he will have six months of his Craven Cottage agreement left.

The German side would pay training compensation but it could be just £500,000, compared to the £50million asking price last summer.

Dortmund — who lost top spot to arch-rivals Bayern Munich after a 5-0 thrashing last night — have been keeping tabs on Sessegnon in his first season of regular top-flight football.

They believe he has a similar potential to Jadon Sancho, who arrived from Manchester City's academy and is now a Dortmund regular and full England international.
