Ryan Sessegnon has claimed Tottenham-linked manager plays the “right type of football”

Ryan Sessegnon has given a big thumbs up to Tottenham links with Fulham boss Scott Parker, as speculation over who the next Spurs manager will be continues.

Sessegnon, 20, is a loaned-out Spurs youngster who has spent the 2020/21 campaign in Germany with Bundesliga side Hoffenheim.

The left-back previously played under Parker when he first took charge of the Fulham job in 2019, and he rates him very highly.

, the 40-year-old Fulham boss is somebody that Spurs are keeping tabs on right now despite the fact he’s not an immediate target.

“That would be very good!” Sessegnon responded when asked by about links to Parker.

“Everyone knows the relationship I have with Scott. He’s a top guy, top man and a top coach. He’s just an all-round great guy.

“I played with him in his last season I think in professional football and my first. He’s someone that has obviously always believed in me as well.

“They [Fulham] have got fantastic results against some of the big teams where other teams wouldn’t have thought they would get those type of points. Scott has got them playing the right type of football; that’s what I admire about him.

“He obviously has a philosophy of play and sticks to it and all the players are buying into that. Recently, it hasn’t been so good for them in terms of results, but I think the performances and effort is still there.”

TBR’s View:

With Fulham needing a remarkable swing of results to avoid relegation, it’ll be interesting to see what happens with Parker in the summer.

He got the London outfit promoted from the Championship last season via the play-offs after top-flight relegation the previous year, so he’s got a track record at Craven Cottage that suggests the club should try stick with him.

He’s an exciting young manager with plenty of charisma, but perhaps Spurs should admire from a distance for now and focus on a more proven boss to take charge of their squad.

Meanwhile, Sessegnon is loan player, along with Oliver Skipp, that should have eyes on breaking into the first team next season when they return to north London.
