They know they will need to strike up a deal before the world cup, because they will be priced out of the market. They won't have 20 million plus to spend, if they don't go up, they will have to sweeten the pot, they'll probably offer Cairney but I hope we don't bite on that, and insist on Sessgnon. They could wait to sell him themselves to finance the move but that would mean they will probably be in a bidding war with a bunch of other clubs. It makes a lot of sense for them and us tbh.
Sessegnon knows he can do "better", though. Players still have a say you know.
If he's got any sense, he'll know that working with someone like Rafa will help him more than sitting on Man City/Chelsea or Manure's bench.
More thinking Liverpool / Tottenham. He'd get to play there. Probably would even get in Man Utds side.
