Ryan Sessegnon has rejoined Fulham on a two-year deal after his contract expired at Tottenham.

The 24-year-old Fulham academy graduate returns to Craven Cottage until 2026, with the option for a further year, after leaving for Spurs in a £25m deal in August 2019.

The winger's spell at Tottenham was marred by hamstring problems and he was limited to 57 appearances for the club.

"It's amazing to be back. Emotional, as well," said the former England Under-21 international.

"It's where it started for me, where everything began.

"It will always be home for me. I think it had the feeling that it was meant to be, coming back here, so I'm delighted to get it done."

Sessegnon scored 25 goals and made 18 assists in 120 senior appearances during his first spell with the Cottagers.

While a Tottenham player, he spent the 2020-21 season on loan at German club Hoffenheim.

He becomes Fulham manager Marco Silva's first signing of the summer.

Tottenham are closing in on the signing of winger Yang Min-hyuk from Gangwon FC.

The 18-year-old is expected to complete a move to Spurs by the time the club face a K League XI at Seoul World Cup Stadium in his native South Korea on 31 July.

Min-hyuk, a Korean youth international, has scored seven goals in his 24 senior matches for Gangwon and became the youngest K League scorer since 2013 when netting his first goal for the club in March.

He is expected to become the latest Korean footballer to join Spurs after current captain Son Heung-min and Lee Young-pyo.

Barnsley FC have signed Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Matthew Craig on a season-long loan.

The 21-year-old joined Spurs' youth team in 2019 and spent the latter half of last season on loan to Doncaster Rovers.

He made 20 appearances for Rovers, including nine of their 10 successive League Two wins that saw them secure a play-off spot.

"It’s been really good so far. I’ve looked around the ground, which is beautiful - a really good stadium," Craig told the Tykes' website, external.

"The people I have talked to already have been really welcoming. It’s been good."

Craig made his senior debut for Premier League side Spurs in their 4-1 victory against Leeds on the final day of the 22/23 season

Former Spurs captain Hugo Lloris believes a "restriction in terms of investment" while building the new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium contributed to a lack of trophies in his final few seasons in England.

The French World Cup winner spent 12 years with Spurs but, despite helping them reach the Champions League final in 2019, did not lift silverware at the club.

"I am not the kind of guy that looks backwards," the now LAFC goalkeeper told BBC Sport chief football news reporter Simon Stone.

"Everything I do I try to have no regrets. At that time we did our best. We brought the club to a level that it didn’t used to be at.

"We didn’t miss much but when we reach this standard in terms of performance and results, the club was probably also focused on the new stadium. It meant there was a restriction in terms of investment. At that time, the others, Liverpool, Chelsea, Man City invested a bit more than us in the top players and in the end, it makes a difference.

"I still believe we were close but at the same time, we missed a bit. This question is good because the only thing when I look backwards, I just don’t know how things would have been if we had stayed one or two seasons more at White Hart Lane."

Spurs played at Wembley for the 2017-18 season and then until April 2019 the following season while the new stadium was completed, qualifying for the Champions League in both campaigns but failing to build on the second place finish in the final year at White Hart Lane.

"The last two seasons in that stadium we were amazing, playing amazing football," Lloris added.

"We cannot forget we played a year and a half without our own stadium. We had to deal with Wembley, which is an amazing stadium, but it was not our own.

"We did quite well because we qualified for the Champions League by being in the top four. But we faced better teams and better sides and stronger clubs than us."

Despite not being included in matchday squads after the appointment of Ange Postecoglou and leaving the December after his arrival, Lloris believes Spurs are heading towards competing for trophies under the Australian manager.

"In football life there are ups and downs and I believe right now, Tottenham are building something that is really interesting," he added. "I could see it for six months.

"I really enjoyed the idea of the football from the manager but also the direction of the club and I believe Tottenham will be competitive again.

"I think there is a new project and I am really interested to see where it is going to bring the club."

Tottenham have rejected an opening 10m euros (£8.4m) bid from AC Milan for defender Emerson Royal.

The right-back, 25, was subject of a verbal and then written offer, which was swiftly rejected as the asking price is believed to be double that initial bid.

There has been no subsequent contact, with reported rival interest from Borussia Dortmund and clubs in Saudi Arabia.

Spurs are open to keeping Brazil international Emerson but have scoured the market for contingency options should he leave.

One player being considered is Brest defender Bradley Locko.

The club’s priority remains signing a forward after the arrival of midfielders Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall, with Timo Werner's loan move from RB Leipzig also being extended.

Ange Postecoglou is currently overseeing pre-season as the club aims to build on a fifth-place finish last season.

Spurs play friendlies against Hearts and Queens Park Rangers this week before a tour of Asia.

Tottenham have sold forward Troy Parrott to Dutch club AZ Alkmaar for an undisclosed transfer fee reported, external to be £6.7m (8m euros).

The 22-year-old Republic of Ireland international has signed a five-year contract with the Eredivisie side until the summer of 2029.

Dublin-born Parrott joined Spurs in 2017 and rose through the club's youth ranks to make his Premier League debut two years later aged 17.

However, he was unable to establish himself as a first-team regular at Tottenham and loan spells at Millwall, Ipswich, MK Dons and Preston followed.

Parrott, whose contract at Spurs was due to expire next year, spent last season on loan at Excelsior Rotterdam where he scored 17 goals in 32 games in all competitions.

"I think AZ is the perfect club for me to take the next steps in my development," Parrott told AZ's website., external

"It helps me that I already played in the Netherlands last season and am therefore used to the competition and life here."

Parrott, who made four Spurs first-team appearances, has scored five goals in 23 international appearances for the Republic.

Glentoran teenager George Feeney has formally completed his move to Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur.

The 16-year-old striker, son of former Northern Ireland forward Warren Feeney, will link up with Spurs' under-18 side in north London.

BBC Sport NI reported in November that Brighton, Tottenham, Crystal Palace and West Ham were believed to be interested in Feeney.

He became the youngest ever goalscorer in the Glens' history in October last year when, as a 15-year-old, he netted in a BetMcLean Cup first round victory against Dollingstown.

Feeney has played underage international football for both Northern Ireland and Wales, where he was born.

Glentoran's 16-year-old defender Darragh McCann has also completed a Premier League move, joining newly promoted Ipswich Town after signing a three-year deal with the club.
