The local Liverpool newspaper ECHO has named Ryan Sessegnon of Fulham as potential transfer for Jurgen Klopp’s Reds this summer.
It is April and that means the transfer rumor mill is winding up to full speed. Regardless of how Liverpool fare in their bid to win the Premier League and Champions League they will be linked to top names. The Liverpool ECHO have raised the possibility of signing Ryan Sessegnon from Fulham.
Highlighting the four-year trend of buying a player from a relegated club – Danny Ings, Gini Wijnaldum, Andrew Robertson & Xherdan Shaqiri – the paper has speculated who might be the fifth name in that sequence in the 2019 summer transfer window.

Top of that list is Sessegnon who has been linked to the Reds for two years now. The left-sided player has started as a full back and wing back for The Cottagers but his best position is as a left forward.
The England Under 21 star was a Liverpool fan growing an idolized Steven Gerrard. He must be itching for the opportunity to come to Anfield and develop under Klopp after Fulham’s confirmation of relegation this week.
I’d love to see him join LFC. He has all the talent to be a top player and a season or two as Sadio Mane‘s understudy would be a great opportunity to develop. This one may happen!
The other two names picked out as potential transfer are both from Huddersfield Town; midfielder Philip Billing and goalkeeper Jonas Lossl.
The English defensive anchor has been the Terriers best player this term in an otherwise unimpressive season for his teammates.
With Simon Mignolet set to leave the club and Loris Karius a disaster, the Reds could be on the lookout for a new reserve keeper and Lossl would be a high-level backup.
Does the Liverpool Echo know more about the Reds’ summer transfer plans than we do? Certainly. Is this a way of preparing the ground for the coming speculation in the months ahead? We will find out!
