Tottenham 5 years → DF who played 57 games, returned to his old team with ‘free’

Fulham said on its official website on the 26th (local time), “The club is happy to announce the signing of Sessegnon on a free contract. He signed a two-year contract until 2026, which includes an option to extend it by one year.”

Sessegnon was once spotlighted as one of England’s top prospects. He made his professional debut at the tender age of 16 in August 2016 at Fulham and scored his debut goal exactly a week later, making him the youngest scorer in the history of the English Football League (EFL) Championship.

His performance was not limited to “sparkling.” Sessegnon displayed impressive performance by scoring seven goals in 30 matches during his debut season, and was selected as the PFA’s Best 11 and attracted attention from leading big clubs such as Bayern Munich and Juventus.

Sessegnon, who later signed a professional contract with Fulham, joined Tottenham led by Mauricio Pochettino in the summer of 2019. Tottenham made a quick move taking advantage of Fulham’s relegation, offering prospect Josh Onoma as a trade card along with a transfer fee of 24.3 million pounds (about 43.3 billion won).

Tottenham’s expectations were soon shattered. Sessegnon was listed as an out-of-strength resource after suffering from poor performance and injury throughout the five-year contract period. Despite receiving a hefty 53,000 pounds (about 94.54 million won) per week, he made only 57 appearances, eventually making the list of players to be released. The total amount of money he receives per week is about 24.6 billion won (24.6 million U.S. dollars).

“It’s amazing to be back. To me, this is where everything started,” Sessegnon, who returned to Fulham after some time, said. “[Fulham] is always my home. Coming back to Craven Cottage, I feel like my destiny has changed. I’m so happy.”안전놀이터

“I am delighted to announce that Semyon is back. He is a former Academy member and spent 11 years with Fulham, where he has grown to be an amazing talent,” Fulham Vice Chairman Tony Khan said.
