Sessegnon set to be rewarded with new deal

Fulham midfielder Ryan Sessegnon is reportedly set to be offered a new contract at Craven Cottage.

The London Evening Standard write that the club are keen to secure his long-term future with just under two years of his current deal remaining.

Sessegnon came through the club’s academy set-up and first signed professional terms at the age of 17.

That was despite interest in his services from a number of Europe’s elite clubs, proving his loyalty to the club.

The 18-year-old has established himself as one of England’s brightest young talents, scooping the Young Player, Player and Apprentice of the year prizes at last season’s EFL Championship awards.

He then went on to start Fulham’s first two Premier League matches of the season but was surprisingly left on the bench for the following two.

Tottenham Hotspur are widely reported to be long-term admirers of Ryan and his twin brother Steven and are thought to have made enquiries about Ryan’s availability during the last two summers.

Fulham’s £100m plus spending spree in the summer has increased the club’s wage spill signinficantly, with the likes of Aleksandar Mitrovic and Jean Michael Seri thought to be on big money.

However, Sessegnon’s ever increasing status in the game is likely to make him one of the top earnersat the Cottage.
