I certainly see why Poch likes the kid. Didn't have a big impact as a winger in the first half. But then had a terrific poacher's finish in the box called back because of a Solanke offsides. After Choudhary saw red and went off, there was a five minute stretch in the second half where he played as a left wing-back, a central midfielder, tracked back 100 yards to put in a tackle on Reine-Adelaide, then sprinted back to play up front as a false nine, making some good runs. The versatility and work rate are certainly there. I'm still not certain where he plays long term as he just doesn't cut it as a winger. Sometimes his best qualities just seem Dele-like - great positioning, great finishing, good one-twos around the box. I could just as easily see him succeed as a AM / second striker than a fullback at this point....which is maybe a bit unnerving. Talent should win out in the end though.

Made good runs and linked up well, but struggled with his final ball.

Thought he looked very good and he was all over the pitch, the bit i liked most was his determination when down to 10 men to sprint across the pitch and win the ball back at about 75 mins!

Think sometimes people forget how young he is due to how long he has been linked with us.... still has a lot to learn but his potential is very high

Exactly, he’s only 6 months older than Clarke, but has so much more experience.

Hope we get both though.

Just imagine working with Kane day in day out on your finishing it’s only going to get better

Kane needs to work on his own finishing as well. In fact, this entire team needs about a month of nothing but finishing training. Followed up by another month of set piece defending training.

I see Arsenal are being linked with Kieran Tierney. I’d love spurs to have him as an option at LB/LWB (even at LCB in a pinch). As others have said in here, I expect Sessengnon’s future will be in more advanced positions.

Gotta be honest, wasn't once impressed with him at Fulham. Just my opinion.
LOL so you weren't impressed when he scored 15 goals in a Championship season, was a two time Championship team of the season member and won a Championship player of the season award, all before he was 18?

Links to him have gone a bit quiet of late.

Is that a good thing? Have we got this one in the bag?
