#3 The left-back’s chase

Sessegnon is an incredible talent

After Danny Rose openly criticised the club for signing relatively unknown players instead of internationally acclaimed players, his time with the North Londoners became shortlived. As a result, Spurs are now looking for options at left-back as they have embraced themselves with the reality of Rose leaving the club somewhere down the line.

The first left-back to have been linked with them is Fulham’s Ryan Sessegnon, who is playing in the Championship with Fulham. According to Fulham journalist, Ryan O’Donovan, the 17-year-old is still courted by the Lilywhites, who had seen a £25 million bid rejected in the summer.

The other left-back they have been linked with is Alex Grimaldo of Benfica. The former Barcelona full-back joined the Portuguese giants in 2016 after failing to nail down a spot in the Barcelona and has somewhat resurged his career in Portugal.

According to TalkSport, Manchester United will make a £50 million bid for Danny Rose and the best value for money player that Spurs could sign as a replacement is the Spaniard, who is rated at somewhere around £20 million.
