Why Ryan Sessegnon is the kid who rules over men: 17-year-old Fulham phenomenon broke into his own home to get his big break and is 'ahead of Gareth Bale' at the same age... so is a move to Tottenham his next step?

It was March 2016 when Fulham's academy staff went to manager Slavisa Jokanovic and recommended that Ryan Sessegnon, then just 15 years old, should take part in first-team training.

Jokanovic agreed and arranged for Sessegnon to be included in a Friday morning session.

There was a slight problem, though. Sessegnon was in class at Coombe Boys' School – and didn't have his boots on him.

Academy director Huw Jennings drove Sessegnon home to collect his boots but there was another problem – the teenager didn't have a key.
