Fulham Teenage Wunderkind Ryan Sessegnon Sweeps Board At EFL Awards
The 17-year-old left-back-turned-winger has scored 14 goals and notched six assists for the Cottagers so far this season, with the club very much in contention for an automatic promotion place.
Ryan Sessegnon has said it feels "crazy" to be bracketed with Harry Kane and Marcus Rashford but he is determined to join them in the Premier League with Fulham next season.
As well as the big prize, the teenager was also named EFL Young Player of the Year, as well as the Championship Apprentice of the Year, as well as being named in both the EFL Team of the Season and the EFL Club-Developed XI of the Season.
"It is insane to be on a shortlist with those players but I'm just happy to be in and around those types of players", Sessegnon said.
Rashford has an average rating of just 6.82 this season, meaning 21 other players who are eligible for the young player gong but didnt make the shortlist, have performed better than him this campaign.
Sessegnon has been linked with clubs including Spurs and Manchester United, but said his aim remained securing top-flight football with Fulham. Sessegnon says that he will not be affected by talk of a first call-up and that his only concern at the moment is Fulham.

"I have been at the club since the age of eight".
But, with promotion to the Premier League still within reach as they enter their final three games of the season, Sessegnon only has one thing on his mind.
"I think it is just having good people around you, never getting too carried away and always having your feet on the ground".
"It would mean everything [to be promoted with Fulham] - it is the team that has made me a professional, and it's the team that has given me a chance". I just want to improve.
"I would love it to be with Fulham in the Premier League", Sessegnon, who missed out on promotion through the play-offs last season, told Sky Sports News.
