Utterly insane that he cost that much money and has played so little
The Ndombele thread is that way

How much did we pay for Sessegnon? £25 million and Onomah?
Sessegnon’s time with Fulham in the Premier League was none too successful. Two goals in 35 appearances. I think Levy really got taken to the cleaners on this one. Or is it possible that the deal for Sessegnon was more than simply a player acquisition? It really was such an awful transaction by the normally penny-pinching Levy that I wonder if there was more to it.
At any rate, Spurs can’t afford to babysit a player like Sessegnon. He needs to get out and play. He’s not an effective winger that can effectively challenge for a spot up top with the current first team, nor does he inspire confidence in defense. My opinion of course.
Not sure how much the Club would get for him in a player sale so loan is the only sensible option that I can see.
How old was he when he came up to the premier League with Fulham? Moura only scored four goals this season in a better team than Fulham.
See, I think it would be perfect for him to get games under his belt and gain confidence in his own ability.Aside from the odd European game experience at Ajax, the competition in Dutch league football wouldn’t be great. We’d be better off loaning him to the Championship for a tougher standard and intensity if we were to even consider a loan. I personally see him having a place in our team next season but a loan to another PL club or Bundesliga would be fantastic for his development.
Thing is, if you imagine him being a success there, the argument would still remain the ‘he hasn’t done it in the PL’ The Eredivise, as we know, isn’t the best league to judge a player. So we’re left relying on him getting experience in the CL. Which as a cup competition could be limited.See, I think it would be perfect for him to get games under his belt and gain confidence in his own ability.
Ajax is a massive and well run club, he could learn so much from a season over there.
I see your point but at the moment, I just think it's important for him to be getting game time, no matter what level really. I think the whole 'going abroad' experience can be great for young players, on so many different levels.Thing is, if you imagine him being a success there, the argument would still remain the ‘he hasn’t done it in the PL’ The Eredivise, as we know, isn’t the best league to judge a player.

That’s why, if he’s going out on loan, it absolutely has to be a PL team. The tricky part is that we’d also have to specify that we’d want him to play at LB, and it would be easy to see why a lot of teams would be reluctant to work with these stipulations.
It could be the making of him, that’s true.I see your point but at the moment, I just think it's important for him to be getting game time, no matter what level really. I think the whole 'going abroad' experience can be great for young players, on so many different levels.
One thing we've learnt of late is that youngsters need to play to improve and I can't think of many better places to learn, than Ajax
He is made to play LB in an overloaded formation. If the ball comes to him in the box he has demonstrated he can score goals, he will no doubt be working on his crossing.
I think this year has just come as a shock to him. He joined a CL finalist team where the wheels were falling off. Players weren’t happy, the coach had been talking about leaving and he wastrhinh to assimilate into a LB role against better opposition. He then struggled with injuries, had a change of management which had to prioritise Make us harder to break down, then there was lockdown.
Jose has said he thinks he can be as good as Ashley Cole. They will be working on his defence and crossing, goal scoring comes for free with this kid, he just needs confidence

We could play Son there again ?Here’s the thing.
Lets say we loan out sessegnon for the season, which would leave us Davies and Cirkin as our recognised LBs.
Aurier is sold to Milan, as has been reported
We sign either ZekiCelik or Castagne (agreed terms apparently), and Aarons.
But a few games in, Davies does his ankle and is out for 8 weeks, let’s say.
We’re down to Cirkin as our only LB, or Castagne (if we sign him).
Last season we could play Vertonghen at LB for a game or two but we’ve let him go
Let’s not use Tanganga as a credible option there, as, in the game at Watford where he played there, he was really bad, and was targeted throughout.
It’s a scenario that might seem unlikely, but would place us in a position of serious weakness if one player got injured.
I think we need sessegnon more than we realise
