Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a clutch of players in this transfer window.
Football FanCast sources understand that the club are in talks with Real Betis’ Giovani Lo Celso and Juventus’ Paulo Dybala over possible moves, but Ryan Sessegnon is the player most needed at the club.
Reports suggest that he is nearing a £20m move to the club in this transfer window.
Indeed, Danny Rose has not travelled with the club on their pre-season tour of Asia and has instead been left in London to seek a transfer.
Ben Davies has not travelled either due to injury and, if Rose departs, they will be left with just the Wales international as their senior left-back.
Jan Vertonghen can play there but he has been so exceptional at centre-back for the club that it would almost feel like a waste.
Bringing in Sessegnon, then, has to be a cornerstone of the club’s summer recruitment.
He is not just a left-back, of course, as he can also play as a left winger, supplementing the threat of Heung-min Son.
The most important part of the signing, though, is ensuring the club have depth at full-back.
Spurs have already sold Kieran Trippier to Atletico Madrid but there is a succession plan in place; FFC understands that Juan Foyth could move from centre-back to right-back, while they also have Kyle Walker-Peters and Serge Aurier.

For left-back, though, the bodies aren’t there. Beyond Davies, one has to look to the youth team for the next specialist left-back.
Acquiring Sessegnon’s signature is vital, then, if the club are to continue calling on full-backs or wing-backs, and Spurs are known for utilising width in their play.
In attacking midfield, where both Lo Celso and Dybala play, Spurs already have Christian Eriksen, Dele Alli and Erik Lamela, with all three holding the ability to feature at No.10.
Bringing in one or both of the Argentines would, of course, be a statement of significant intent.
But you can’t decorate a house without building it first. Having Sessegnon come in is an important part of that building job.
