Ryan Sessegnon has sent parent club Tottenham Hotspur a good luck message ahead of this evening’s Carabao Cup final with Manchester City.
Wembley plays host today as Tottenham take on Pep Guardiola’s side in the showpiece.
Spurs are underdogs because not only are they over 20 points behind City in the Premier League table, but their interim boss, Ryan Mason, is 29 and only has one game as manager under his belt – a 2-1 win over Southampton in midweek.
The North Londoners fired Jose Mourinho six days before the final in a move that has brought some criticism on chairman Daniel Levy.
Sessegnon was loaned to Hoffenheim by Mourinho last summer after struggling for regular football originally under the Portuguese, who replaced Mauricio Pochettino early in the 2019-20 campaign.
And here’s what the former Fulham prospect tweeted to Tottenham on social media this morning.
