Tottenham Hotspur see Ryan Sessegnon as the ideal replacement for Danny Rose if the England left-back leaves the club.

Rose is expected to leave Spurs after criticising the club’s wage structure in the summer and falling behind Ben Davies in manager Mauricio Pochettino’s pecking order.

Having described himself as “fuming” to have been left out of the North London derby defeat to Arsenal, Rose was also dropped from Pochettino’s squad for the draw with West Bromwich Albion at the weekend.

Pochettino confirmed Rose was not injured and that he was instead working on his fitness, having failed to offer any reassurances over the 27-year-old’s future a few days earlier.
