Ryan Sessegnon is only 22 but it feels like this has been a long time coming for him.
That comes of making his debut at 16 for Fulham, then being part of a great generation of England youth players, winning the Under 19 European Championship in 2017 and being touted as one of the best of the emerging talents from south London at that time, which included Jadon Sancho, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Tammy Abraham and Emile Smith Rowe.
It seems as though we’ve been on the cusp of something before, when Fulham were promoted in 2018-19, or when he moved to Spurs in 2019-20, before being somewhat underwhelmed.
