A biography for Ryan Sessegnonhasn’t been written yet.
“I think 18 is a good age to make your debut.”
“Whenever success does come, I enjoy it for a moment but then put it to the side and focus on the main objective.”
“I never expected to win Young Player or Player of the Season because there is some fantastic competition - Ruben Neves at Wolves, James Maddison at Norwich, and Tom Cairney here at Fulham. To win those two awards is a special feeling.”
“I am becoming a man; I am maturing day by day. The influence of being around men helps me and makes me be more professional.”
“I was always focused on staying and playing for Fulham.”
“Growing up, we were very similar, but Steven got a bad injury. It set him back a year. But for that, we would have progressed at the same time.”
“For the fans, for the club, for the young players, I want to show there is a pathway at Fulham for young players to go through in the first team.”
“I think it's good to surround yourself with good people.”
“I feel attention sometimes in games, from fans and other players. But I just try to play the way I always have, remain focused, and don't let distractions get in my way.”
“My debut season was a good one for me, especially at 16, but I said that I want to improve.”
“My ambition is to be the best I can be.”
“It's been a massive confidence booster to know the managers picking you each game in a position where you're playing well. It gives you a lot of belief that you're doing the right things.”
“I was about 11 or 12 when I started, playing against bigger players. I would use my speed to get out of trouble.”
“When we were growing up, we supported Liverpool.”
“For someone to have faith in you at the tender age of 16 is massive.”
“It's great to be compared to someone of the stature of Gareth Bale, but I'm happy to be Ryan Sessegnon.”
“I grew up in Roehampton in the south-west - it's decent!”
“It has been a dream to play in the Premier League with Fulham.”
“It was my idea to get in the gym. Fulham have pushed me as well to be in there two or three times a week, not just weights but flexibility as well to help my all-round body.”
“For me and Steven to both play for Fulham at the same time was special.”
