Ryan Sessegnon to Liverpool: The one big factor that could help Reds sign Fulham star
RYAN SESSEGNON is a boyhood Liverpool fan - and it is this which could play into Jurgen Klopp's hands in signing him.

The Reds have identified the 16-year-old Fulham left-back as one of the stars of the future.
He burst on to the scene in the Championship this year and is now on the radar of all the top clubs.
Manchester United, City, Arsenal and Tottenham have all been linked with the whizzkid, who is an England Under-19 international.

Express Sport understands that Sessegnon sees his future at Fulham - for now - because he wants to continue to get regular football.
He thinks a move to a big club would leave him banished to the Under-23s.
But the big trump card Liverpool could play is the fact that Sessegnon is a big Reds fan.
He grew up supporting the club as a kid - despite living in London.
Although a summer move is unlikely - regardless of whether Fulham go up in the play-offs or stay in the Championship - his boyhood allegiance could play into Liverpool's hands when Sessegnon does move on.
