Sessegnon can’t ink a professional contract until he turns 17 next month and he already has a pre-agreement with Fulham in place which is due to be signed on July 1st. If he signs that then Liverpool would be looking at paying a heftier fee to Fulham and not just compensation.

According to well-placed sources, Liverpool plan to table a bid once the season concludes which suggests there has already been indications that the player is up for the move.

Meanwhile, Liverpool appear to be maintaining their interest in Eupen (Belgium) striker Henry Onyekuru (19). Liverpool scouts are continuing to monitor him.
