Here’s one for both ed01 and ed02. firstly ed01 how highly do you rate Ryan Sessegnon? What he’s doing is unreal in my opinion and must have to be the most promising England youth around . And ed02 what’s the low down regarding interest in the player. Thanks in advance SLB ðŸ‘ðŸ».
{Ed001's Note - Spurs are trying to sign him for the summer and he is about the best around, maybe Sancho would have an argument, in terms of England youth. One of the best in Europe and had the sense to stay at Fulham in the last few windows rather than moving to ensure he played regularly.}

Are any clubs interested in James Maddison Ed? thanks.
{Ed001's Note - Wolves, Newcastle, West Brom and Brighton.}

He appears to be very calm and level headed. if spurs take him it will prove to be another good spurs signing. Hopefully arsenal change targets and have a serious look . Thanks ed.
{Ed001's Note - welcome.}

It was strange to see Sessegnon not making the top 50 or whatever list of u-20 players with top potential that was out recently. Also Sancho didn't make that list. You do like him don't you Esq?
{Ed001's Note - I am sure Sessegnon did make the list mate. Sancho was a definite miss though.}

Sorry Ed Sessegnon did make the list. My bad. Apologies.
{Ed001's Note - no worries mate, I thought he did. Would have been a strange list if he hadn't. He would have been much higher but for Fulham being outside of the top flight, as the level of competition they face made a huge difference to the ranking.}

Maybe I missed him. Isn't Sessegnon English ed1? If so he didn't make the list I think and neither did Tierney at Celtic (maybe he is older to qualify) .
{Ed001's Note - I had to check but yes Tierney is 20 so wouldn't qualify as it was teenagers only.}

I think Sessegnon will go on to have a great carrier not because I think he is hugely talented (not that he isn't) but he seems to have a good head, seems to have good people around him. He could easily have moved to a PL club and sat on the bench, play for u-23s but no, he made the decision to play regularly in a more competitive league than the reserves and reject more money and just for that also I hope Fulham get promoted. But that list didn't have the hugely reaped and rated Phil Foden. He is already a media darling in England yet he wasn't there? Do you think it's got anything to do with him being at City and not getting much game time ed1? Or is he too young?
{Ed001's Note - it is a lack of first team football. It was based on their importance to the team they played for and the level they were playing at etc. Hence why Donnarumma came top, as he is key and a regular AC Milan, rather than a sub or U23 player.}

Oh and our boy Fosu Mensah got on the list but there was one name that really caught my eye and sets the example for all young lads coming through and that was Martin Odegaard, moved too soon to a big club rotted on the bench for a year or so and stagnated his development. Money over playing time at such young age was a terrible mistake. Never seen him play but hope he gets his career on track and gets a good enough shot again.
