It was widely expected that the 17-year-old left-back would join Tottenham in the summer as the Cottagers failed to make it to the Premier League. But Sessegnon, who played 30 games for the London side, decided to stick to the Championship as he continues his development.
Sessegnon does have a bright future ahead of him and the decision might work out in his favour as he hones his skill in a lower league, which is away from the Premier League glare.
Nevertheless, we missed out on a player that would have grown leaps and bounds under the guidance of Mauricio Pochettino and a number of fans tweeted their reaction to the Englishman signing a new contract with Fulham.
Read on!
Ryan Sessegnon would rather stay at Fulham than move to Spurs. LOOOOL.

Gutted we won’t do Sessegnon this window. Value goes up but have to admire his willingness to develop next year, hopefully for the best!
