Report: Crystal Palace considers ex-Spurs player as a possible replacement for Olise

Ryan Sessegnon is set to depart Tottenham as his contract expires today, with Crystal Palace reportedly interested in him as a potential replacement for Michael Olise. Sessegnon, originally signed by Mauricio Pochettino in 2019 amid high expectations following a standout Championship season, struggled with injuries during his tenure at Tottenham.

Despite a promising stint under Antonio Conte, where he formed a productive partnership with Matt Doherty, Sessegnon’s time at Tottenham was marred by recurring fitness issues, including multiple hamstring problems. His most recent setback occurred during an U21 match aimed at aiding his recovery.

Crystal Palace, anticipating the departure of Michael Olise to Bayern Munich, are actively seeking reinforcements in the winger position. The club has reportedly identified Sessegnon, now a free agent after leaving Spurs, as a potential addition to their squad. According to reports from The Sun on June 29, Palace have expressed interest in securing the 24-year-old’s services.

Sessegnon’s departure from Tottenham marks the end of a tenure that failed to fully capitalize on his initial promise, highlighting the challenges he faced in maintaining consistent fitness and form. As he weighs his options for the next phase of his career, Crystal Palace emerges as a viable destination eager to capitalize on his potential and contribute to their squad’s attacking prowess.
