# Tottenham Hotspur: Antonio Conte holds Ryan Sessegnon belief

**As per[The Athletic](https://theathletic.com/3154631/2022/02/28/could-this-run-of-starts-finally-be-the-making-of-ryan-sessegnon-at-tottenham-hotspur/), Tottenham Hotspur boss Antonio Conte now holds a very promising belief around Ryan Sessegnon amid his up-tick in form.**

### The Lowdown: Conte lavishes youngsters…

The Italian, since taking to Spurs’ helm, has apparently been in awe of some of the younger Lilywhites starlets behind-the-scenes.

Among them are midfielder Oliver Skipp, who Conte allegedly considers a ‘coach’s dream’. He has taken a ‘big shine’ to the Englishman and agrees with the feeling inside Spurs he could become a major player in the next few years ([Alasdair Gold](https://www.football.london/tottenham-hotspur-fc/news/antonio-conte-already-loves-one-22100163)).

Chelsea’s former head coach has also held praise for Dane Scarlett with Conte calling Tottenham’s 17-year-old gem a ‘really good’ talent and Spurs’ ‘best’ academy prospect ([football.london](https://www.football.london/tottenham-hotspur-fc/news/conte-doherty-scarlett-tottenham-injury-23240307)).

### The Latest: Conte also adores Sessegnon…

According to[The Athletic](https://theathletic.com/3154631/2022/02/28/could-this-run-of-starts-finally-be-the-making-of-ryan-sessegnon-at-tottenham-hotspur/), after an impressive few games, Conte ‘knows’ he has another starlet in Sessegnon who can ‘catch fire’ at Tottenham – provided he stays fit.

The left wing-back has been heavily favoured recently, starting the last four matches, including an imperious display away to Leeds United in a 4-0 demolition.

### The Verdict: Crunch time for Sess…

Despite [not having his best game](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/tottenham-hotspur-ryan-sessegnon-harry-winks-struggle-middlesbrough-fa-cup-player-ratings/) against Middlesbrough in Tottenham’s FA Cup defeat on Tuesday night, the 21-year-old has undoubtedly displayed his quality in certain matches.

The mission now is to ensure he manages that level on a consistent enough basis with no more substitutions[inside the first half an hour of Premier League matches.](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/conte-spurs-sessegnon-sub-wolves-26218648)

Sessegnon possesses bags of potential with pundit Noel Whelan even tipping him to become a ‘[£50 million player’](https://www.footballinsider247.com/hardly-seen-tottenham-youngster-is-a-50m-player-in-the-making/).

If the ex-Fulham star can keep fit and keep his place under Conte, Spurs fans may finally see that level start to slowly come.
