Tottenham left-footer Ryan Sessegnon is reportedly holding discussions with German top-flight club Hoffenheim about joining them on loan.

According to the Daily Mail, the 20-year-old is in talks with the Bundesliga side about a loan deal and Spurs are keen for their youngster to get regular game-time this season.

The report claims that there has already been enquires from Southampton, Brighton, Celtic, Hertha Berlin and Red Bull Leipzig for his signature this summer.

Hoffenheim appear to be in pole position having entered talks with him and the Englishman may be set to try develop his career in German football, with a side that are also in this season’s Europa League competition.

Sessegnon is yet to fully announce his arrival at senior level in a Spurs shirt following his £25million move from Fulham to North London back in 2019.

He is a versatile wide man that can play as a left-back or left-winger and there is big pressure on him to live up to his price tag and potential.

The speedster has played just 12 first-team games in a Spurs shirt, but it’s worth noting he previously played 120 games in Fulham’s senior side.

With so many options now available to Spurs boss Jose Mourinho in his squad, it makes sense to offload some fringe players that will be starved of minutes.

Sessegnon is certainly one of those isolated from the starting XI right now and he’s only made the matchday squad on one occasion so far this season, which is why the left-sided flyer could do with a loan to help his progression.
