Liverpool 'lead Ryan Sessegnon race'

Liverpool are reportedly at the head of the queue for Fulham youngster Ryan Sessegnon.

Sessegnon, 16, has scored four times in 17 first-team appearances for Fulham this season, with his form leading to suggestions that a number of clubs want to sign the full-back.

Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur have all been credited with an interest in the teenager, but according to Squawka, Liverpool lead the race for the £15m-rated left-back.

Sessegnon does not turn 17 until May, when his first professional contract will be activated.

The full-back, who has five England Under-17 caps to his name, joined Fulham at the age of nine.
