- Fulham are said to be resigned to losing Ryan Sessegnon in the summer
- They will demand somewhere in the region of £40million for his services
- Tottenham are the favourites but they will now face competition from Juventus
Juventus will compete with Tottenham for the signing of highly-rated Fulham youngster Ryan Sessegnon.
The Cottagers are said to be resigned to losing the 18-year-old winger during the summer transfer window.
They will demand somewhere in the region of £40million for his services, despite his contract expiring in 2020, and Juventus look ready to stump up the cash, according to The Mirror.

Sessegnon is believed to be leaning towards a move to Spurs due to his desire to continue living in west London.
The Englishman is also fully aware that manager Mauricio Pochettino has a fine track record of developing young English players.
Manchester United, Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain have also shown interest in him but it is Juve who look most likely to come in with a formal offer in an effort to add some youth to an ageing side.
Despite Fulham's poor campaign, Sessegnon has continued to impress. The teenager has made 35 appearances in all competitions so far this season, contributing two goals and six assists.
