Fulham agree Ryan Sessegnon return on free transfer after release from Tottenham

Fulham have agreed a deal to bring Ryan Sessegnon back to Craven Cottage on a free transfer.

Sessegnon is a free agent after being released by Tottenham and Fulham have seen off competition from Crystal Palace to sign the 24-year-old.

Sessegnon scored 25 goals in 120 games for Fulham before leaving for Spurs for £25million in 2019.

Injuries badly disrupted his five years at Spurs, where he managed just 57 appearances, but Sessegnon hopes a return to his former club can help reignite his career.

Sessegnon came through the ranks at Fulham after joining the club at Under-9s.

He made his Fulham debut aged 16 and played a key role as they won promotion from the Championship in 2017-18, a season in which he became the first person from outside the Premier League to be nominated for PFA Young Player of the Year.

Sessegnon made just one appearance for Spurs last season, a seven-minute cameo against Burnley in the third round of the FA Cup.
