Dean Jones has claimed that Ryan Sessegnon could be in line to start for Tottenham Hotspur ahead of Ivan Perisic this weekend after some information he was told coming from the training ground.
After a strong start to the season – going undefeated in their first five Premier League games, sitting third as a result – Spurs will hope to continue this run of form over the weekend.
Indeed, just a matter of days after drawing with West Ham United, Antonio Conte’s men will now host London rivals Fulham at home.
Will Ryan Sessegnon start this weekend?
Yes
No
So far this season, Sessegnon has started two league games but has been on the bench for the past three outings, and didn’t even feature against West Ham.
In his place, Ivan Perisic has been the man trusted instead and with two assists in just 275 minutes of game time at Tottenham, it seems as though the Croatian is settling in well to life in England.
However, at 33 years of age, he may not quite have the stamina to start so many games in quick succession and so Conte may need to rotate. With that in mind, there is a chance we could see Sessegnon start against Fulham. And after this behind-scenes update from Jones, that could well be what has been planned in training.
