Ryan Sessegnon has revealed just how thrilled he was to achieve promotion with the Cottagers after a remarkable season for both him and the club.

Sessegnon built on an impressive breakthrough season with Fulham by becoming a key part of their forward line. He played on the left-wing for most of the season because playing in a deeper position limits his effectiveness and is a waste of his intelligence in attacking areas.

The English prospect has become an expert at blindside runs with the timing of his movement being crucial in evading defenders. The fact that he has picked this up at such a young age is astonishing because this usually comes with experience.

This is what he had to say post-match to Fulhamfctv: "Nothing can top that in my life. I think it's the best I've felt in my football career so far in my short journey."

"To do it with my boyhood club is a dream really. It's a tight group, we all trust each other. We trust the way we play."

"It's not ideal going down to 10 men. We knew after that we had to stick together and make it tight."

The Verdict

Sessegnon didn't miss a league game all season which shows his importance to the team, and his development is certainly an exciting proposition for the team as they aim to keep him at the club for as long as possible. However, it's likely that his ambition and ability will eventually go past a level that the team can offer.

This promotion was timely for the club, though, because it allows them to keep Sessegnon, Tom Cairney and Slavisa Jokanovic at the club for a while longer. They will certainly be an exciting team in the Premier League next season, and it will be fascinating to see whether they can translate their recent success into the top division.
