Ryan Sessegnon signs Fulham contract extension as Tony Khan confirms new deal

The 24-year-old academy graduate has re-established himself as an important figure since returning to the club in 2024, featuring in all but seven of Fulham’s 33 Premier League matches so far this season.

Sessegnon, who first broke through as one of English football’s brightest young talents during Fulham’s promotion push in 2017-18, said he is delighted to continue his second spell in west London.

“Of course, it’s the Club that I’ve always wanted to be at,” Sessegnon told club media.

“I’m very comfortable at this Club, I’m happy with how it’s going, last season and now this season as well, and I just want to finish the season strongly.”

Sessegnon’s return has helped provide versatility and depth for Marco Silva’s side, with the former Tottenham and Hoffenheim man capable of operating at left-back, wing-back or further forward.

Fulham chief Tony Khan welcomed the extension and praised the player’s long-standing connection to the club.

“I am thrilled to announce that Ryan Sessegnon’s contract option has been triggered, and that he will extend his time here at Fulham for at least another year,” Khan said.

“Ryan spent much of his childhood in the Club, developing under the guidance of the Fulham Academy leadership.”

Khan also reflected on Sessegnon’s remarkable early rise, which saw him become Championship Player of the Season at just 17 before helping Fulham win promotion to the Premier League in 2018.

“After spending five years away, Ryan came home in 2024 and has made important contributions since his return to the Club,” he added.

“Ryan is a tremendous professional and a wonderful person, and we’re all excited that he will be back next season!”

The extension represents another boost for Fulham as they plan for next season, with Sessegnon now hoping to end the current campaign strongly before continuing his story with the club where it all began.
