PSG Willing to Battle Man Utd, Tottenham for Fulham’s Crown Jewel Youth Player | OneFootball

PSG have prioritized securing young talent that either turns into a quality first team player for them or they can resell if the situation doesn’t work out to recoup most of their fee.

Désiré Doué and João Neves are examples of young players who arrived at PSG and found success despite their age. Moreover, there are other cases where it doesn’t work out, but because they are young, there are suitors for them.

The capital club has moved on from Manuel Ugarte, Xavi Simons, and Hugo Ekitike, but secured a significant fee, or at least having a sell-on clause to go along with the initial sum they received.

With PSG solidifying themselves as the best team in Europe right now, many young players will be open to playing in the French capital.

TBR Football reported Saturday that Fulham are battling to keep hold of England Under-17 captain Seth Ridgeon.

Widely seen as the “crown jewel” of Fulham’s academy, the attacking midfielder is considered one of the top prospects in his age group across the country.

The report also notes that nearly every major English club is monitoring Ridgeon. Manchester United have previously been linked, but there’s now interest from Chelsea, Tottenham, Manchester City, Liverpool, Newcastle, and Aston Villa.

Interest extends beyond England as well, with PSG, Juventus, and Borussia Dortmund also keeping tabs on the talented teenager.
