Tottenham release injury-hit Ryan Sessegnon

admin admin | 06-06 00:16

Ryan Sessegnon has left Tottenham after five seasons at the club.

Spurs announced their retained list on Wednesday morning and Sessegnon has been allowed to depart on a free transfer.

Eric Dier and Ivan Perisic were also mentioned as part of a group of players released but their departures were confirmed in January when they joined Bayern Munich and Hajduk Split on loan.

Tottenham academy graduate Japhet Tanganga will also leave this summer, but Sessegnon is the most high-profile departure.

Sessegnon signed for Spurs in 2019 from Fulham in a £25m transfer, but endured an injury-hit spell in north London.

The former England Under-21 international arrived at Tottenham as one of the most promising young players in England, but had his debut delayed by a hamstring issue.

It would prove problematic throughout his time at the club and, across five seasons, Sessegnon would only manage 57 appearances for Spurs.

The left-sided player did enjoy a productive loan spell at Hoffenheim three years ago, but played only once in the 2023-24 campaign after surgery on both his right and left hamstrings.

Tottenham did hold the option to extend Sessegnon's terms by a further 12 months, but the 24-year-old will exit and aim to rebuild his career elsewhere.

It is a similar story for Spurs academy graduate Tanganga after his departure was confirmed.

Tanganga made his Tottenham debut at the start of 2020 under Jose Mourinho, but struggled for opportunities during the tenures of Nuno Espirito Santo and Antonio Conte.

The 25-year-old centre-back spent the second half of the past season on loan at Millwall and impressed in the Sky Bet Championship.

Meanwhile, the contracted Troy Parrott remains on the books at Tottenham, with his current deal running until 2025.

The Republic of Ireland striker, who netted the winner in Tuesday's friendly international against Hungary at the Aviva Stadium, suffered relegation on Sunday with Excelsior.

However, he scored seven goals in his last three games with the Eredivisie side, as well as 10 other goals over the course of his loan with the club, and the Dubliner will hope his exploits in front of the posts has caught the attention of Ange Postecoglou.
