“This summer they have invested in the squad, but how many of the recruits did Manchester City or Liverpool want? They are the clubs Pochettino is measuring his squad against now,” Carragher said.
“I know Liverpool watched Ryan Sessegnon, and saw another player for the future rather than someone who could go straight into the team at left-back. Pochettino is again working with a signing he is expected to develop over time rather than players who can make an immediate impact.”
TBR’s view – Sessegnon has a long way to go at Tottenham
Carragher, in some degree, is right. Spurs need players that can make an instant impact and many Spurs fans will argue that if Tottenham were spending money, they needed to bring in players that can shine instantly.
With Manchester City and Liverpool a couple of levels ahead in the top two, Spurs needed to bring in players that can shine right now. Tanguy Ndombele and Lo Celso can do that. Sessegnon? It remains to be seen.
