RYAN Sessegnon said Fulham would “always be home” after he rejoined the Cottagers five years after leaving for Tottenham Hotspur.
Sessegnon, 24, signed a deal until the summer of 2026 with the option of another year after leaving Spurs this summer on a free transfer.
Roehampton-born Sessegnon joined Fulham as an under-9 and made his debut as a sixteen-year-old a 3-2 win at Leyton Orient in August 2016.
He made his league debut the following weekend in a 1-1 Championship draw against Leeds United at Elland Road and a week after that scored his first professional goal as Fulham drew 2-2 against Cardiff City at Craven Cottage.
Sessegnon made 30 appearances and scored seven goals that season, all before his seventeenth birthday.
He played 120 times and scored 25 goals in his first spell with the club.
“It’s amazing to be back. Emotional, as well. It’s where it started for me, where everything began, and it’s amazing to be back,” Sessegnon said on FFCtv.
“It will always be home for me. I think it had the feeling that it was meant to be, coming back here, so I’m delighted to get it done.”
Tony Khan added: “I’m thrilled to announce that Ryan Sessegnon has returned to Fulham Football Club.
“Ryan grew up in our Academy, he spent elven years at the club, as he developed here into a wonderful young man and a phenomenal talent.
“I remember travelling to Leeds for the first league start of his career on 16/8/16 as if it was yesterday.
“We’re all so pleased that Ryan has come back, he is beloved here at the club by our staff and supporters, and we know that he’ll be right at home, working with old friends and new, under Marco Silva’s great leadership.”
“Welcome home, Sess.”
