Tottenham boss Pochettino key to winning race for Sessegnon

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino are closing on a deal for Fulham wing-back Ryan Sessegnon.

The Sun says Sessegnon, 18, has attracted interest from Spurs, Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain following relegation from the Premier League.

Borussia Dortmund are also watching Sessegnon's situation carefully and would take him on a free transfer at the end of next season if he runs his contract down.

But Spurs could get a deal done this summer with Fulham braced for cash offers when the window opens.

Poch's work during his five years in North London makes him a massive draw for young players.

Harry Kane has become England captain under the Argentinian's tenure, while Dele Alli, Eric Dier and Kieran Trippier have also benefited from his coaching.
