Josh Onomah has insisted that he can't wait to get started at Fulham after putting pen to paper at Craven Cottage, after speaking to the club's official website.

The 22-year-old signed for the Cottagers from Tottenham Hotspur on Deadline Day, in a deal that saw winger Ryan Sessegnon go the other way and sign for the Premier League outfit.

Onomah is no stranger to the second tier, having spent last season on loan with Sheffield Wednesday and making 15 appearances for the Owls last season, as well as playing 37 times for Aston Villa the season before that.

The midfielder came through the ranks at White Hart Lane and made 13 Premier League appearances for Mauricio Pochettino's side, but will now be looking forward to writing a new chapter after a permanent move to Craven Cottage.

Speaking to the club's official website about his move to Fulham, Onomah admitted that it was hard to leave Spurs, but insisted that he is raring to get going under Scott Parker.

He said: "It was a stressful couple of days, what with me not being definitely sure if it was going to happen or not, but to finally get here, meet the players, meet the staff, is amazing and I just can’t wait to get started.

"It was weird leaving Tottenham. I’ve been with them since I was eight, Tottenham has been my whole life, so it has been strange, but when one door closes another one opens."

Fulham picked up their first win of the 2019/20 campaign last weekend, with goals from Tom Cairney and Aleksandar Mitrovic securing a 2-0 home win over Blackburn Rovers.

Parker's side travel to Huddersfield Town tomorrow night, as they look to make it two wins in their last two games in the Sky Bet Championship.

The Verdict

I think that as well as receiving nearly £30m for Sessegnon, bringing in Onomah as part of the deal is a really shrewd piece of business.

He's a very talented midfielder who knows what it takes to succeed in the Championship, and he will add competition to a midfield that is already packed with quality.

He's at a good age and he could really flourish at Craven Cottage under Parker.
