Insider: ‘£40m’ Tottenham duo tipped to join new clubs in January after major development
Tottenham duo Ryan Sessegnon and Jack Clarke are likely to be signed by Championship clubs in the January window.
That is according to Spurs insider John Wenham, who regularly breaks news about the club on his Lilywhite Rose social media channels.
Sessegnon, 21, and Clarke, 20, have only made three appearances between them this season and January loans are now on the cards.
Both players failed to make Nuno Espirito Santo’s nine-man bench for Tottenham’s trip to Newcastle on Sunday.
Sessegnon joined Tottenham from Fulham for over £25million back in 2019.
Clarke joined from Leeds in a deal worth £13.5m and, as a result, Wenham claims Tottenham aren’t prepared to cut their losses on the players.
“Sessegnon and Clarke are still very young,” Wenham told Football Insider correspondent Ben Wild.
“But together they cost £40million, they need to play football and to continue their development.
“Sessegnon has had a few injuries, he just needs a strong run of games.
“I can see two Championship loans in January, I think that’s the right move.
“It’s too early to be talking about selling either player, they need a chance to show what they have.
“That’s not going to happen at Tottenham, not this season. So they need to go out and I can quite easily see them joining a club on loan this winter.”
Tottenham have plenty of depth at left-back and on both wings.
Clarke and Sessegnon have only appeared in the qualifying round of the UEFA Conference League this season.
