Tottenham Hotspur boss Jose Mourinho remains a big fan of Ryan Sessegnon, Football London report.

Sessegnon was sent out on loan by Tottenham to Hoffenheim on deadline day, after failing to break into their first-team since signing.

But Spurs still feel that the 20-year-old can make the grade in the future, he just needs more game time.

Mourinho has spoken before about Sessegnon needing to show more confidence on the pitch, and it seems that his latest loan move has been selected to help him in that regard.

Tottenham want Sessegnon to get plenty of action playing at left-back, which is the role Mourinho ultimately sees the England youth international playing for his side.

Spurs have just brought in Sergio Reguilon, while Ben Davies has shown good form of late – so forcing his way in on the left-hand side of Tottenham’s defence will not be easy.

But Mourinho still has faith that the youngster can do it, as he regards him very highly.
