Under-23s boss Aidy Boothroyd announced his squad for the opening stages of the tournament this morning ahead of England's opening group match against Switzerland on Thursday, March 25.
Tanganga, who has racked up nine appearances for Spurs this season, has been named in the former Watford boss' squad, as have Sessegnon and Skipp. Sessegnon is currently on loan at German outfit Hoffenheim and Skipp is currently applying his trade at Championship title hopefuls Norwich City.

Hoddle blasts Hojbjerg and Kane
Former Spurs boss Glenn Hoddle has heavily criticised the performances of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Harry Kane following Spurs' 2-1 defeat to Arsenal yesterday.
Arsenal recovered from a goal down to take all three points in a heated North London derby, which saw Spurs go in front thanks to a sensational goal from Erik Lamela.
However, Hojbjerg and Kane, who have been two of Spurs' most consistent performers this season, failed to impress and impose themselves on the encounter, sparking hefty criticism from Hoddle.
He said: “I thought Harry Kane was awful on the day. I don’t think anyone was hiding, I think it was one of those days.
“There were probably four, five, six players he could have named. The whole collective team just wasn’t at it."

Spurs' midfield called 'crabs'
Former Tottenham midfielder Jamie O'Hara has criticised Hojbjerg and his Spurs teammates following their defeat to Arsenal on Sunday.
“He’s [Hojbjerg] great defensively, he puts his foot in and makes good tackles,” O’Hara told the Sports Breakfast show.
“But on the ball, I expect so much more. The midfield yesterday was so sideways and backwards. It was like a bunch of crabs playing in there.
“Get the ball, have some guts to get on it and get the ball forward.
“There’s no point playing Son, Bale, Kane and Moura if they’re not going to touch the ball.
“They just spent half the time defending because we’re not good enough at passing the ball around at the back and sticking it into our front men.
“It was a bad day at the office, but Arsenal, to be fair, pressed very well and they were decent.”
