Play-off heartbreak at the hands of Reading marked a disappointing end to the season for Fulham, who are now consigned to another season in the Sky Bet Championship.

Things could be about to get even worse for the Cottagers however, with Premier League clubs sniffing around a number of their prized assets.

Tom Cairney has been linked with a move to Newcastle, and teenage sensation Ryan Sessegnon is reported to be attracting interest from Manchester United and Liverpool.

Both players will be difficult to replace, and 16 year old Sessegnon ability and potential will be a particular loss to the side from west London.

Born in the year 2000, the player struck 7 goals and recorded 3 assists from the left back berth in only 20 league and cup starts.

Replacing such a prestigious young talent will give manager Slavisa Jokanovic a real headache this summer.

One player who once showed the immense potential currently exhibited by Sessegnon never quite made the grade, but at the age of 24, still has time to reach the lofty heights he was once touted to achieve.

Zeki Fryers made his way through the Manchester United academy, before a contentious move to Tottenham via Standard Liege materialised.

A move to Crystal Palace followed, and loan moves to Rotherham and Ipswich failed to put the defender’s career back on track.

At Fulham, perhaps Fryers could rediscover the form that made him such a hot prospect in Manchester during his teenage years.

The player is set to be released on a free transfer this summer, and Jokanovic may feel he has what it takes to finally draw the best from the player.

Giving the Englishman one final chance to prove himself is a low risk alternative to a big money swoop for a Sessegnon replacement, and this cost effective option may appeal to those in charge at Craven Cottage.

If the manager can get Fryers back on track, Fulham could have a real gem on their hands.
