Spurs: Ryan Sessegnon outperforms Sergio Reguilon in key area

Tottenham wing-back Ryan Sessegnon is a more accomplished finisher than his teammate Sergio Reguilon, according to Sky Sports reporter Michael Bridge.

The two left-sided players have been battling for a place in Antonio Conte’s starting XI since the Italian coach arrived at Spurs in November.

When looking at the statistics, it is clear that Reguilon has had the better campaign to date.

Meanwhile, Sessegnon is floundering behind with an average game rating of 6.45. He is yet to score in the league this term, and he only has one assist.

However, that did come in his latest appearance against Leeds, and he does appear to be growing in confidence having started each of Tottenham’s last three league fixtures.

The Englishman has hardly been a standout performer since being drafted into the team, but he has started to build his confidence and arguably delivered his best
