Fulham are ready to hand Ryan Sessegnon an improved contract.

The London Evening Standard says they are keen to open talks with Sessegnon over a new contract with the teenage star's current deal expiring in less than two years.

The 18-year-old has proved himself one of the best young players in England during the last two seasons and the club want to secure his long-term future as a matter of urgency.

Sessegnon showed his commitment to Fulham by signing professional terms when he was 17, even though England's and Europe's elite were keen to take him. His judgement proved sound as he helped Fulham reach the Premier League last season, and started their first two games in the top flight.
