Tottenham Hotspur have agreed a deal to sign Ryan Sessegnon, but will have to loan him back to Fulham next season if the Cottagers secure promotion to the Premier League, according to Paris United.

What's the latest?

The North London outfit have been linked with Sessegnon for some time, and the fans are certainly excited by the idea of the 17-year-old signing.

The left-sided player, who penned his first professional contract at Craven Cottage last year, has gone from strength to strength.

Despite his young age, Sessegnon is one of the most important members of the Fulham squad having scored 15 goals and created six assists in 46 Championship appearances.

The player is a major reason why the club have reached the Championship playoffs, but according to Paris United, the outcome of the promotion fight will affect a deal with Tottenham.

The publication claims that an agreement has been reached with both the player and Fulham regarding a switch to Spurs, but if the Cottagers move up to the top flight, then they will request that Sessegnon stays on loan for the season.

Is this a no-brainer?

Well, clinching Sessegnon's signature is a victory in itself as his performances have made it abundantly clear that he is a star in the making.

There is a slight risk, however, with the loan condition, mainly because there is a chance - albeit minimal - that Sessegnon will not be the same player a year from now.

The youngster certainly has room to grow, and it is not outlandish to suggest that a player of his age should continue gaining experience before making the jump to elite level.

However, Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino is the ideal manager to help develop a young talent like Sessegnon.

Also, even if regular game time is not on offer, he will certainly be used, and it will give him the incentive to force himself into the coach's plans.
