Four players released by Spurs

Tottenham have officially confirmed that the contracts of Ivan Perisic, Ryan Sessegnon, Eric Dier, and Japhet Tanganga will not be renewed when they expire on the 1st of July.

Dier and Perisic spent the first halves of the season in N17, but spent the second half out on loan, at Hajduk Split and Bayern Munich respectively.

Perisic had actually started the season fairly positively with some impressive cameos off the bench, before rupturing his ACL in September.

Dier, despite being fit throughout, only featured in four league games under Ange this season, with the defeat at Wolves in November being the solitary start. He, and everybody else, knew his time in North London was up when full-backs were being started ahead of him in the middle of the defense during the height of Spurs' injury crisis.

Tanganga spent the entire season out on loan. A rather unfruitful loan spell out in Germany at Bundesliga club Augsburg was ended in January and he was sent out on loan to Championship side Millwall in a much more productive loan spell.

Sessegnon was technically the only player of the aforementioned four to actually be at Spurs for the entirety of the last campaign, although only really in the name.

He made a solitary appearance for Ange's men all season - a 15-minute cameo in Spurs' 3rd round FA Cup win over Burnley.

Tottenham officially offloads four players

Sessegnon was still only 19 years of age when he joined Spurs for £23.8m (SofasScore) in the summer of 2-19 and was seen as a player with extreme potential, but non-stop injuries meant his career in Lillywhite never really got going.

Although not the signing of a player with a name as big as he would have hoped, Perisic did show flashes in a Spurs shirt. In 23 Premier League starts in the 22/23 season, Perisic provided eight big chances and put up eleven big chances created from the wing-back. In just 100 league minutes under Ange, Perisic had an assist and 2 big chances created.

With Spurs' issues out wide this season, a fit Ivan Perisic could have solved some of their issues in the final third. However, with his wage and age, letting him go back home on a permanent basis seems the most logical decision.
