Yeah, Sessegnon really struggled with the big move to Spurs - would he really want to subject himself to their fans?

Bad news: Sessegnon was on the bench last night(although didn't get on)
Good news: Mourinho has publicly stated his squad is too big and is unhappy with the numbers
No news: Are we actually interested

I don't know why and I certainly don't claim any knowledge (generally!), but I'm confident this one will happen. I think it makes a lot of sense for all involved and we get a Lamptey quality left back/left wingback. Sessegnon needs a season of regular first team football, which Mourinho isn't offering. Ben Davies and Reguilon will be the left back options and they've got plenty of attacking players to occupy the left sided position.
I wonder if we might be tempted to throw in a cheeky £20m offer and see what their appetite is for paying for the Bale deal by selling Sessegnon. Mourinho is that short sighted, he has been throughout his whole career. Levy isn't a big fan of spending money so if we essentially offer a payment for Sessegnon to cover their Bale outlay, or the Reguilon outlay.

Would love us to go for this.
There's no way he'll stay at Spurs with Reguilon and Davies ahead of him. Would be a great addition but only if permanent or loan to buy.

**** off Lino.
Hopefully Ashworth will know well him from England set ups, he'd be perfect for us.

Going for a drink with two blokes who could invent copper wire by fighting over a penny. As Old Man Steptoe would have it in the classic funeral episode
'Yeah...tight as a gnat's chuff he was.'
What makes you think that they are tight?

The previous evidence of their hard faced dealings in the transfer market and strictness over wage demands. Levy's reputation for playing hardball with players and agents is fairly legendary and PB does a pretty good job of emulating him on Brighton's behalf. Why are you so confused?
Prior to potentially signing this lad, I was wondering what he’d done wrong at Spuds.
What is it that Mourinho has against the boy?

The Athletic reckons he's one of six players for whom Spurs are willing to listen to offers.

Really want this one to happen. In this new system whilst of course defending is part and parcel of a wing backs job, the attacking element is more important as all of our width is provided by that player and the 3 CB’s (all relatively mobile) should provide adequate defensive cover. With that in mind, and with budget taken into account, I can’t see a better fit currently on the market (if reports are to be believed). Get it done Tony.
I agree with all that. Yet Levy signed Maureen and probably made him the highest paid manager in the world.
The game may have changed at Spuds. Purely from an investment point of view, having been CL finalists, if they don't keep 'at it' the only way is down. Their CL exposure may mean they start swimming the merch gravy train that ManUre (especially) have made their own.

True. Mine was a flippant joke based on the previous media stories about Spurs players living in relative penury. In truth, I have considered him to be one of the most reliable and level headed of the EPL chairmen. His first priority has been the security of the club. Exactly why Tony Bloom employed PB. I joke about penny pinching, but that's who I want running the Albion. I never again want to be wondering whether the club has a future.

If it came down to signing an additional striker or him I would chose Sessegnon all day, there I’ve said it!
