Shots fired in the battle to secure rumor mill magnet Ryan Sessegnon.
The Fulham talent turns 19 on Saturday, and doesn’t want to spend the last year of his teens in the Championship.

Sessegnon played 35 matches in his first Premier League season, scoring twice and adding six assists in just under 2300 minutes.
That’s not bad, though perhaps not to expectations given he punched home 16 goals with eight assists in the Championship last season.
Sessegnon has made 120 first team appearances for Fulham at his tender age, and has been linked with Tottenham Hotspur, Juventus, Manchester United, Liverpool, and Chelsea amongst others during his brief career.
A new report says Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and United are the team leaping to the front of the line, preparing an early bid to bring Sessegnon to Old Trafford.
Sessegnon can play anywhere up the right and left side of the pitch, though he’s been most utilized on the left in his career. Only 10 of his appearances have come on the right, many of those as a wing opposite Ryan Babel this season.
