West Ham are looking at signing £25m player Tottenham are getting rid of - journalist

Tottenham have announced that a number of players will be departing at the end of this month.

Indeed, Spurs have released their retained and released list, and there are some interesting players who will be leaving Tottenham upon the expiry of their contracts.

One player who is leaving Spurs at the end of the month is Ryan Sessegnon.

Once upon a time, the left-footer was seen as one of the brightest young talents in English football, but after a litany of injuries, Sessegnon is about to become a free agent.

So, where will Sessegnon go next? Speaking on Fulham Fan News, Ben Jacobs has provided a bit of an update on the £25m man, and he says that West Ham have been having a look at the former England U21 international.

West Ham having a look at Ryan Sessegnon

Jacobs spoke about Sessegnon and interest from West Ham.

“First of all on those two, with Ryan Sessegnon I think West Ham were giving that one a look,” Jacobs said.

“With Emile Smith Rowe it is concrete interest from Fulham I can confirm that. We know historically Aston Villa were looking bur aren’t in the mix at the moment. West Ham tried and failed for a loan move for Smith Rowe.”

Sessegnon needs to play

Ryan Sessegnon needs to get his career back on track, and in order to do that he needs to be playing regular football.

That’s why a move to West Ham could work well for the former Fulham man.

West Ham are a top team, but they’re not exactly blessed with a long list of incredible left-backs, and if Sessegnon can come in and stay fit, he should be able to get regular minutes at the London Stadium.

Of course, staying fit is much easier said than done for a player who has spent so long on the sidelines recently, but if Sessegnon can reach his potential at West Ham, this would be a fantastic deal on a free transfer.
