Ryan Sessegnon

17-year-old Sessegnon has been a sensation in the Championship over the last season and a half, scoring plenty of goals from left-back.

Apparently, the young Englishman is a natural winger and playing as a full-back has reduced his attacking ability which is some statement with the number of goals he does have to his name from further down the pitch.

Whether he starts or not is unknown as he has been a key part of Fulham’s league campaign so far this term but I’m sure that Sessegnon, who’s been linked with a number of Premier League sides including Saints, will relish the opportunity to take on a Premier League outfit.
