One of the most famous youngsters in the English game, Sessegnon is being followed by almost every major club in England along with interest from foreign leagues as well.

The 17-year-old is the perfect example of a modern-day full-back - capable of performing his defensive duties and willing to make runs in the opposition box as well.

In fact, Sessegnon’s attacking statistics are more impressive than his defensive ones primarily due to his tendency to fly into tackles.

According to pundits, the Fulham player will be able to fine-tune his defensive game as he plays more and more. With 5 goals and 3 assists, the English youngster made waves with his performances last season but has eclipsed it already this season.

7 goals and 4 assists in the Championship for a 17-year-old is mind boggling and that is what has attracted all the Premier League giants towards him.

Comparisons to Gareth Bale are already flying about due to the similarity between the two players. Bale started his career as a fullback but gradually moved to the wings to play as a proper attacker. If Sessegnon is to truly fulfils his potential, the same path might be what he needs to follow.
