Ryan Sessegnon attracting Premier League and Bundesliga interest after Tottenham release
Ryan Sessegnon has garnered significant attention from clubs in both the Premier League and the Bundesliga after his release from Tottenham Hotspur, football.london reports.
The 24-year-old left-back, who spent five years at Tottenham, is now a free agent and is looking for a fresh start after a series of injuries hampered his development.
Tottenham decided not to extend Sessegnon’s contract, making him available on the market this summer.
The former Fulham star was once considered one of the brightest young talents in world football, prompting Tottenham to spend £25 million plus Josh Onomah to secure his services.
However, recurring hamstring injuries limited his impact, allowing him only 26 Premier League starts during his tenure at Spurs.

Sessegnon’s career at Tottenham was marred by hamstring problems in both legs. Last season, he managed just one appearance under manager Ange Postecoglou, coming off the bench in the FA Cup win against Burnley.
Although he underwent surgery that was believed to reduce the likelihood of future injuries, he suffered another setback in an under-21s match, requiring similar surgery on his other leg
Currently, Sessegnon is participating in a strength and conditioning camp in Portugal, aiming to get back to full fitness for the upcoming season.
He is optimistic that his surgeries will significantly lower the risk of further hamstring issues and is preparing for the next chapter of his career.
