Tottenham have informed Ryan Sessegnon that his contract will not be extended this summer, football.london understands. The 24-year-old had an option for a further year in his deal but will not be remaining at the club past the end of the month.

Sessegnon only played twice this season due to a continuation of injury issues hat have plagued his time in north London. He will now become a free agent after making just 57 appearances for Spurs since arriving in 2019 for over £20million from Fulham.

His last match for the club came on January 5 as a late substitute during the 1-0 FA Cup victory over Burnley. That was his only senior outing, with his other appearance coming in mid-February for the Under-21s against West Ham.

He has unsurprisingly not been called up for the end-of-season friendly clash with Newcastle in Australia on Wednesday. Tottenham named a 24-man squad for that game, omitting Cristian Romero and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.

For Sessegnon it comes at the end of a nightmare two years in which he has played a tiny role for Spurs. The versatile defender has had surgery on both legs following hamstring troubles that have stunted his career.

In earlier this year he took to social media, addressing the problems. "I’ve been down this road before," he wrote on Instagram. "I’ll pick myself up, stay head strong and begin my recovery in the best way possible.

"Having been through an operation and the recovery on my other hamstring last year, and knowing how strong that hamstring is now, I know this is the best solution to put an end to the reoccurring issues."
