Ryan Sessegnon has signed a contract extension at Fulham, keeping him at the club until the end of the 2026/27 season.
Sessegnon’s contract had been due to expire this summer, but Fulham have triggered the option to extend his deal until the end of next season.
The former England youth international returned to Fulham in July 2024 after five injury-hit years at Tottenham and has made 52 appearances in all competitions across the last two seasons.
The 25-year-old has produced two goals and three assists in 26 Premier League appearances this season.
After initially struggling for fitness, Sessegnon has carved out a place for himself in Marco Silva’s side, providing cover for left-back Antonee Robinson, who has also battled with injury issues over the last 18 months.
News of Sessegnon’s extension comes as Fulham continue to negotiate new deals with Harry Wilson and Silva, who are both out of contract this summer.
Silva, who publicly criticised the club for their lack of activity in the transfer window last summer, has remained coy about his future, while Wilson is said to be considering his options.
Fulham have endured a mixed campaign, but could still break their points record for a single Premier League season if they take a minimum of 10 points from their final four games.
On his contract extension, Sessegnon told FFCtv: “Of course, it’s the club that I’ve always wanted to be at,” he said. “I’m very comfortable at this club, I’m happy with how it’s going, last season and now this season as well, and I just want to finish the season strongly.”
Fulham’s owner, Tony Khan, added: “I am thrilled to announce that Ryan Sessegnon’s contract option has been triggered, and that he will extend his time here at Fulham for at least another year.
“Ryan spent much of his childhood in the Club, developing under the guidance of the Fulham Academy leadership, making his first league start in the Championship in 2016 at the age of 16, and then winning the Championship Player of the Season the following year at age 17, before his pass set up Tom Cairney’s promotion-sealing goal at Wembley in the EFL Championship Play-Off Final in 2018 following his 18th birthday.
“After spending five years away, Ryan came home in 2024 and has made important contributions since his return to the Club. Ryan is a tremendous professional and a wonderful person, and we’re all excited that he will be back next season.”
