Over the weekend, Tottenham Hotspur wideman Ryan Sessegnon was linked with a loan move to Ajax for the 2020-21 season – with Jose Mourinho having a decision to make over the 20-year-old.
After an inconsistent first season at Spurs, it will be interesting to see where the former Fulham star will be playing his football next term.
After reporting on the news, White Heart Lane conducted a Twitter poll asking Tottenham fans what their opinion was.
Two-thirds of those who responded suggested that Sessegnon would be best served moving to Amsterdam for 2020-21.

I stated at the weekend that Jose Mourinho should trust the England under-21 starlet and start to integrate him into the starting XI.
While I stand by this sentiment, if regular first-team football is not forthcoming at Tottenham, a switch to Ajax is certainly an alluring opportunity.
In a division where the Amsterdam outfit are dominant, Sessegnon could well regain his confidence and develop as a player with the Dutch team.
One way or the other, given the significant outlay in signing him last summer, Spurs need more from the versatile wideman over the next 12-18 months.
But remember, to all those doubting him, Gareth Bale started slowly at Tottenham too….
