Ryan Sessegnon is on the verge of rejoining former club Fulham on a two-year deal with an optional extra year, according to a report.
Free agent Sessegnon was released by Tottenham at the end of 2023/24, having made 57 appearance since joining Spurs from Fulham in 2019 across a spell marred by hamstring problems.
The 24-year-old former England under-21 international, who had a trial at Crystal Palace, will return to Craven Cottage subject to a medical, BBC Sport has said.
