BBC pundit Alan Hutton believes Ryan Sessegnon is the perfect replacement for Sergio Reguilon who has been strongly linked with a move away from Spurs.
The attacking fullback has 3 years left in his contract but according to reports Tottenham are open to letting him leave the club for the right offer. The speculations gained momentum after he was left out of the squad for the pre-season tour.
The former Spurs right-back turned pundit Alan Hutton believes Sergio Reguilon is not defensive enough for Antonio Conte’s team despite him being good going forward which is why Spurs could be willing to off-load him. When asked about it by Football Insider, he said:
“I think they’ll still listen to offers. I think Antonio Conte is still searching for the right dynamic when it comes to the left wing-back and the right wing-back. He still seems like he’s searching at this moment in time.
Djed Spence looks like he’s a possibility for the right, Reguilon on the left.
“I like him as an attacking player, he came from Real Madrid, there was a lot of hype about him. Defensively, I still think that’s where he lets himself down just like Emerson Royal on the other side.”
“I think to play in a Conte team you have to do both very well. So, if there is an offer that comes in they will listen to it.
“You’ve got the likes of [Ryan] Sessegnon who ticks a lot of the boxes, he’s still young, he’s hungry to learn and develop so he’s got options there. But if a decent fee comes in I think they will listen to it.“
With Ivan Perisic’s arrival who could be Conte’s preferred pick for the left wing-back role, it would make sense to have Ryan Sessegnon as a backup, who is still young and has huge potential.
