Ryan Sessegnon reacts to Tottenham departure -“It broke my heart”

Tottenham confirmed on Wednesday that Sessegnon would depart the club this summer at the end of his contract, alongside Eric Dier, Ivan Perisic and Japhet Tanganga.

A club statement read: “Following the conclusion of the 2023/24 season, we now bid farewell to Ryan and Japhet. We thank Eric, Ivan, Ryan and Japhet for their service to the Club and wish them all the very best for the future.”

“From making my debut to scoring in the Champions League. I’ll always cherish these moments. Unfortunately, things didn’t work out the way I or the club wanted during my time here. It broke my heart that I couldn’t play in front of you a lot more.

“I want to wish you all the best for the future. Thank you, Sess.”
