Ryan Sessegnon, the 24-year-old winger, has returned to Fulham on a two-year deal after his contract expired at Tottenham. Sessegnon, a product of the Fulham academy, has signed with the club until 2026, with the option for a further year. This move comes after his departure from Fulham in August 2019 when he joined Spurs in a £25m deal. Unfortunately, Sessegnon’s time at Tottenham was marred by hamstring problems, which limited his appearances for the club to just 57.
In an interview, Sessegnon expressed his excitement about returning to Fulham, calling it “amazing” and “emotional.” He described Craven Cottage as his home and where everything began for him. He believes that coming back to Fulham was meant to be, and he is delighted to have the deal completed.
During his first spell with Fulham, Sessegnon had an impressive record, scoring 25 goals and providing 18 assists in 120 senior appearances. However, his time at Tottenham was not as fruitful due to his injury struggles.
Sessegnon’s return to Fulham marks Marco Silva’s first signing as the club’s manager. Silva, who took charge of Fulham earlier this summer, will be hoping that Sessegnon can rediscover his form and make a significant impact for the team.
In addition to Sessegnon’s signing, Fulham is also in talks with Arsenal over a potential deal for midfielder Emile Smith Rowe. However, their initial offer has been rejected, and negotiations are ongoing. Adding a talented player like Smith Rowe to their squad would further strengthen Fulham’s midfield and provide them with more attacking options.
Overall, Sessegnon’s return to Fulham is a positive move for both the player and the club. He has the opportunity to reignite his career and make a significant contribution to Fulham’s ambitions in the Premier League. With Marco Silva at the helm, Fulham will be hoping for a successful season, and the addition of Sessegnon and potentially Smith Rowe could be crucial in achieving their goals.
