Speculation linking Danny Rose with a departure from Tottenham Hotspur this summer is certainly not new, neither is the long standing rumours of our interest in Fulham starlet Ryan Sessegnon.
It’s not exactly a ground breaking report from the Sun but I’m not sure you’d associate them with that kind of coverage, but in any event, this weekend they linked both deals together and claimed quite confidently that manager Mauricio Pochettino had identified Sessegnon as the long term replacement for Rose.
Naturally it builds on the previous Sessegnon speculation and it also hugely leans on one subjective view of Rose’s own words about his future from his recent interview.
The main angle of the report though is the claim made about his £80,000 week wage as that would obviously be a huge burden for a lot of clubs to take on, despite all the claims made about Spurs not paying top dollar for players.
They also hint that we’d possibly look to breakeven on the player swap suggestion, by only looking for around £35million for Rose, which is one of the main fees suggested for Sessegnon.
