Steven Sessegnon delighted with new Fulham contract

Steven Sessegnon has signed a new deal with Fulham.

The 18-year-old has agreed a deal which keeps him at Craven Cottage until the summer of 2022, with a Club option to extend by a further 12 months.

Having come through the Academy since joining as an Under-9 alongside twin brother Ryan, Steven penned his first professional contract with Fulham last summer.

“It feels very good," Sessegnon told fulhamfc.com. “It's something I've been working towards for the last few months and it feels amazing to get it done and over the line.

“You could say the first [pro deal] was very special but this one has shown all the hard work I've done personally, not just with this Club but with international success as well. It is rewarding helping contribute to the progression of Fulham.

“This can only motivate me to keep working harder. I will carry on doing as I am and keep on heading towards the next one.

“Hopefully I can make my league debut very soon, but over time I need to keep working hard and knuckling down and see what happens.

“You can't rush this sort of thing. I'm going to take my chance, whenever it might come.

“The Millwall game in the Carabao Cup was a great feeling for me. That was something I'm not used to, but one that will push me on, and spur me on in the future to achieve great things."
