Tottenham news: Expert raves over ‘brilliant’ Ryan Sessegnon – ‘Man City couldn’t handle him’
Ryan Sessegnon turned in his best-ever performance for Tottenham as he starred against Manchester City.
That is according to Spurs insider John Wenham, who regularly breaks news about the club on his Lilywhite Rose social media channels.
Sessegnon, 21, was handed a rare start as Tottenham beat Man City 3-2 on Saturday (19 February).
The defender has only made 11 appearances this season but was thrust into the starting lineup against City by Antonio Conte.
Wenham was blown away by the youngster and insists he has never turned in a better for the club.
“Ryan Sessegnon, I have criticised him heavily since he joined the club,” Wenham told Football Insider correspondent Ben Wild.
“I haven’t seen anything from him in the three years he has been here.
“That was easily his best display in a Tottenham shirt. He did 93 minutes at left-wing wing away to City in their first loss since October.
“He did some great running that led to Kane’s first goal and he caused problems all afternoon.
“His pace and directness were brilliant, City couldn’t handle that.
“I hope we see more of that from him now. A lot of players can use this result to push on and really develop.
“I hope Sessegnon can be one of those who we see continue to impress across the rest of the season.”
Conte’s side are now seven points adrift of fourth-placed Man United with three games in hand on the Red Devils.
Spurs face struggling Burnley next up on Wednesday (23 February).
