Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino is said to be willing to offload Danny Rose this summer.

Tottenham Hotspur selling Danny Rose could be a big error from Mauricio Pochettino.

The Sun claim that Tottenham are willing to sell Rose for £35 million, with Ryan Sessegnon wanted as his replacement.

Mauricio Pochettino is known to want to reshuffle his squad at White Hart Lane this summer, as he looks to freshen things up.

However, letting Rose go and replacing him with a teenager would be an unnecessary risk for Tottenham to take.

Rose may have his flaws, and there are doubts over his final ball, but he appears to be getting back to his very best.

Rose was one of Tottenham’s strongest performers over the latter stages of last campaign and, on his day, he is one of the finest left-backs in the Premier League.

Rose offers Tottenham a reliable presence at the back, and his explosive performances can be a threat in an attacking sense too.

To get rid of him just to bring in Sessegnon, who remains unproven at the top level, looks like a massive gamble and it is one that Tottenham don’t need to take.

Sessegnon would be a strong addition to Tottenham’s squad, but to give him the responsibility of being a first choice starter in his debut season at White Hart Lane may be inadvisable.

And letting Rose go would be a highly questionable transfer decision for Pochettino to make, especially without an experienced replacement lined up.
