Antonio Conte has singled out Ryan Sessegnon for praise regarding his improvement at Tottenham Hotspur.

Sessegnon joined Spurs for £20 million during Mauricio Pochettino’s reign in the summer of 2019.

However, only now is the former Fulham starlet a regular player at Tottenham.

Conte certainly seems to have succeeded where the likes of Pochettino and Jose Mourinho failed and that is getting the very best out of the player, though it’s worth pointing out that he is a much more experienced player now after a loan spell in Germany a couple of years ago.

The 22-year-old impressed again on Saturday as the North Londoners secured a 1-0 victory away to Brighton & Hove Albion.

And here’s what Conte told Tottenham’s official website after the game.

He said: “Sessegnon played a really good game, he showed that he is a reliable player, he’s a really young player but he’s improving a lot.”

It has taken a while as mentioned, but it’s great to see that Sessegnon is finally blossoming into a major player for Tottenham.

There was no shortage of speculation about him joining the Lilywhites for a couple of years prior to his actual move.

And for quite a while it didn’t look like he would be worth the wait but, as Conte pointed out, the player is definitely improving and at 22, there’s surely a lot more to come from him.
