As reported by The Express, Liverpool are the side most interested in signing Fulham's teenage sensation Ryan Sessegnon this summer and are ready counter interest from some of the biggest clubs in England.

What's the story?

Currently making a name for himself on the left flank at Fulham, 16 year old Sessegnon is tipped to make an impression at the very top of the game.

The Express report that Antonio Conte is a big fan but it's Liverpool's Jurgen Klopp who is hoping to sign him when the transfer window opens again.

With Arsenal and Manchester City also interested in signing him up to his first professional contract, it would be quite the coup if Liverpool manage to land him.

Worth the fuss?

Compared to Gareth Bale by Fulham teammate Kevin McDonald, it’s clear Sessegnon is thought to have a very bright future in the game. The teenager has made 18 appearances in his first season of professional football and has shown excellent dribbling and crossing ability.

At just 16, he is of course still raw and would require polishing by Klopp to truly shine for Liverpool. What he needs more than anything is regular first-team football so perhaps a move to the Anfield would not be the best for his development.

Nevertheless, the Reds investing early in that development could pay dividends down the line, especially if he truly is a player that could turn into a world class talent like Gareth Bale.
