Ryan Sessegnon has claimed that he made his mind up early to stay at Fulham last season.
The 17-year-old has been making headlines over the past year for his impressive performances for the Cottagers.
The left-sided player caught the eye by scoring seven goals last season following his debut in August 2016, but he resisted reported interest from Premier League clubs to sign his first professional contract at Craven Cottage.
In an interview with FourFourTwo, Sessegnon said: "I made my mind up to stay, months before I signed that contract. I knew I'd play more games here than elsewhere, which is important at my age in order to keep developing."
The teenager has gone from strength to strength this season, netting 14 goals in 36 Championship outings.
