Report: Tottenham could sell two full-backs this summer – not Emerson Royal

The Evening Standard have revealed that both Ivan Perisic and Ryan Sessegnon could end up leaving Tottenham Hotspur this summer.

While Ivan Perisic has posted some impressive numbers in his first season at Tottenham, with 11 assists to his name across all competitions, the Croat has not set the world alight defensively.

That is part of the reason why Antonio Conte preferred Ryan Sessegnon to the experienced star on many occasions during the first half of the campaign.

However, the former Fulham man’s injury problems have once again prevented him from getting a regular run in the starting eleven over the last few months.

The Evening Standard have said that on the back of another injury-hit campaign, Spurs might decide to put the 23-year-old in the shop window this summer.

The publication adds that Perisic might also be put up for sale by the Tottenham hierarchy since the former Inter Milan man was an Antonio Conte signing.

Tottenham will be boosted by the return of Destiny Udogie from his loan spell at Udinese this summer, with the 20-year-old having another impressive campaign at the Dacia Arena.

Even putting his injury issues aside, Sessegnon has never looked good enough to be a regular starter for a club with Champions League ambitions.

While there is nothing wrong with his defensive game, the 23-year-old is quite clumsy in possession and seems to be incapable of making half a yard for himself.
