Ryan Sessegnon is ready to leave Tottenham on a free transfer this summer.

The 24-year-old winger is keen for a new challenge at a Premier League rival next season and wants to move when his contract expires despite Spurs holding an option to keep him for a further year.

Sessegnon played just once this season, a seven-minute substitute appearance against Burnley in the FA Cup in January, during an injury-hit season in North London.

The former England Under-21 international has suffered chronic hamstring problems and has had two surgeries to rebuild his career, the latest coming in February after a setback while playing in an academy match.

However, he is nearing his return as he steps up his rehabilitation and is keen to get back playing first-team football.

Spurs will look for a replacement forward to bolster manager Ange Postecoglou鈥檚 options next season.

Sessegnon joined Spurs for 拢25million from Fulham in 2019 after winning the Championship Player of the Year award during the Cottagers鈥檚 promotion-winning campaign.
