According to a recent claim made by Mundo Deportivo‘s Miguel Rico (transcripted and translated by Sport Witness), Barcelona are keeping a keen eye on Tottenham Hotspur left-back Ryan Sessegnon. The same source has also stated that the Catalan outfit are looking for an ideal back-up for Jordi Alba and has identified the English youngster as a potential option this summer.
Sessegnon’s Injury-Plagued Debut Season At Tottenham
The ex-Fulham talent has endured a frustrating spell at North London after missing a significant chunk of this campaign due to a hamstring injury. Even when Sessegnon has been fit and available for selection, he has often been subjected to a place on the bench which has further hampered his development in England.
The 20-year-old has made 12 appearances for Jose Mourinho’s side this term, finding the back of the net once while providing one assist across multiple competitions which highlight his recent struggles at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. However, Sessegnon deserves a little credit for being an all-around performer after averaging of 0.8 tackles, 0.5 interceptions, 1.2 clearances, 0.5 key passes and 0.5 dribbles per 90 minutes in the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League this season (stats via whoscored).
