Joe Tomlinson

Welcome to one-on-one from Sky Sports, the podcast where we chat to some of the brightest stars in the Premier League.

I'm Joe Tomlinson.

There's no jewels today.

And I've been lucky enough to travel to Fulham's Motspur Park training ground to chat to the one and only Ryan Sessegnon.

And boy, do we use the word journey to describe some footballing careers.

And even though he's not really traveled that far, Ryan Sessegnon's career today has certainly been that, a journey.

It's full of ups and downs.

And as he says himself, it's really been a roller coaster.

Some people might well not remember, but Ryan is the definition of a proper wonderkid.

He came through the ranks of the Fulham Academy to the first team at 16 years old and he set all of the records along the way.

After winning multiple accolades, he helped Fulham back to the Premier League in 2018 before a really high profile move to Tottenham Hotspur.

To use the rollercoaster analogy again, he was definitely on the up.

But that's where things started to go, I suppose you could say, a little downhill for Sessegnon.

A series of injuries as well as changes to the management, his playing time was really quite limited.

So after going out on loan, he eventually found his way back to Fulham for what he would describe as his homecoming.

So as you'll hear, Ryan talks about how his career has really come full circle.

He discusses his quite incredible sporting family.

His brothers all play, so does his nephew, and how he's learnt to live with the hype.

This is my one-on-one with Ryan Sessegnon.

Ryan, thank you so much for joining me.
