Tottenham Hotspur could target both Ryan Sessegnon and Jack Grealish this summer, according to Football.London journalist Alasdair Gold.

Spurs have not signed a single player since January 2018, when they recruited Lucas Moura from PSG.

What's the word?

Spurs were heavily linked with Grealish throughout last summer but a deal ultimately failed to materialise.

Per Sky Sports, the club tabled a bid worth £25million for the attacking midfielder but saw the offer rejected by the Championship outfit.

Tottenham have also been continually linked with Sessegnon, Fulham's 18-year-old wing-back.

And Gold has now claimed that both deals could potentially come off this summer as the club looks to bring an end to their transfer exile.

Speaking in a Q&A session, Gold said: "The club are closely following the situation with Ryan Sessegnon and I wouldn’t be surprised if they return for Jack Grealish after being so close to getting him last summer only to fail to pull the trigger.

"The young midfielder has been proving in recent weeks just how much of a game influencer he can be after returning from his injury.

"Spurs have always needed someone to challenge or replace Eriksen and Grealish might just be a British solution for that problem.

"The likely departures from the club should also open up the field for new foreign signings. It could be set to be an interesting summer after the last two windows."

Spurs need to move forward

Spurs can't afford not to bring in reinforcements this summer and both Sessegnon and Grealish fit the bill perfectly.

The latter has not been tested at Premier League level but, such is his ability, he has the potential to reach another level entirely under Pochettino. Indeed, he has scored twice in his last three outings for the club.

The same is true of Sessegnon's potential, with the full-back likely to see his current employers relegated in the coming weeks.

The deals will not be cheap but Spurs have to speculate to accumulate; standing still is not going to help the club break through the glass ceiling that they keep running up against.

Sessegnon and Grealish should be just the start.
