Celtic On Alert As Journalist Predicts England U21 Ace Will Be Sent Out On Loan

Tottenham will likely send left-back Ryan Sessegnon out on loan if the Premier League side completes the signing of Real Madrid’s Sergio Reguilon, according to the Daily Mail‘s Sami Mokbel:

Spurs also have Ben Davies and Danny Rose who can play in the same position so Sessegnon is unlikely to get much game time if he stays in London.

As Mokbel mentions, Tottenham have already fielded enquiries for the 20-year-old. It was reported last month that Celtic, along with Brighton, Newcastle, AC Milan, Ajax and Bayer Leverkusen were all interested in the fullback.

The Hoops are currently focused on signing Charlton’s Alfie Doughty on a permanent deal but Sessegnon is undoubtedly a better player and they may opt to switch targets before deadline day.

Especially as Sessegnon is comfortable playing as a winger too, it would allow manager Neil Lennon to employ the England Under 21 international as a wingback in his 3-5-2 system, which he employed in the 5-0 win over Ross County last weekend.
