The Germans are assured of their progress into the last 16 as group winners; Spurs as the runners-up. When Sessegnon joined Spurs, he was injured, having suffered hamstring damage on England under-21 duty at the European Championship in June. Sessegnon was wrong and, over the first three months of the season, he was a helpless onlooker as the team fell apart. “He [Pochettino] was a big part of me coming to the club,” Sessegnon says. “I think he wants me to show a bit more personality, show that I will fight for my place,” Sessegnon says.
