Antonio Conte makes Ryan Sessegnon, Djed Spence and Oliver Skipp prediction

Tottenham boss Antonio Conte believes Ryan Sessegnon, Djed Spence and Oliver Skipp could all become senior England internationals if they continue their current rate of improvement.

The three England U21 internationals have all had differing amount of game time under Conte at Spurs this season. The Italian has used Sessegnon heavily with the left wing-back playing 907 minutes across 16 appearances, Skipp has got just 215 minutes across nine games after returning from injury while summer signing from Middlesbrough Spence has just 26 minutes across four matches.

There was some talk that Sessegnon might have been a late contender to sneak into Gareth Southgate's England squad for the World Cup due to the number of injuries to left-backs in recent weeks. Although that never materialised, Conte has been pleased with the rate of progress the 22-year-old has made in the past year to become one of his regular starters.
