'Spurs' worst Muktu Sessegnon announces his return to Fulham after playing for 7 minutes all year
"The dark history of recruiting Tottenham" leaves the team again. The return to Fulham has been officially announced by Ryan Sessegnon (24), who played only seven minutes throughout last season.

British media Sports Mall reported on the 27th (Korea time) 'Sesignon was released from Tottenham on a free agent and returned to Fulham' The Fulham club also announced the joining of FA Sessegnon on its website. Sessegnon returned to his old team through a one-plus-one-year contract.

He is one of the 'worst mukturi' who will remain in Tottenham's transfer history. Defender Sessegnon, who grew up at Fulham Youth, wore a Tottenham jersey back in the summer of 2019. At that time, Tottenham's expectations were quite high. It was understandable. Sessegnon was a brilliant player at Fulham. Sessegnon made his Fulham first team debut through youth and appeared in 120 games, scoring 25 goals and 18 assists. He was evaluated as having both defensive and offensive capabilities.

Therefore, Tottenham paid a transfer fee of 25 million pounds (about 44.6 billion won) to bring in Sessegnon, who is only 19 years old. It was quite a high transfer fee. Considering that Tottenham invested just £22 million in signing Son Heung-min from Bayer Leverkusen just four years ago, Tottenham's expectations for Sessegnon can be guessed. In short, he was a player who rated higher than Son Heung-min.

As a result, however, this investment failed disastrously. Sessegnon did not grow as expected due to frequent injuries. Sessegnon, who played only six league games due to a hamstring injury from his first season on the transfer, lost his sense of play due to his long loan spell. He returned to Tottenham in the 2023-2024 season, but still has not recovered to his normal form due to chronic injuries. Last season, Sessegnon played only one game, against Burnley in the third round of the FA Cup. He also played for only seven minutes and received a full salary. Sessegnon played just 57 games for Tottenham in five years.

Because the injuries were too frequent, the transfer fee profit from the sale could not be expected. In the end, Tottenham just threw 25 million pounds into the air. Sessegnon returned to Fulham without leaving a transfer fee. He said "It's great and amazing to be back in the friendship team. There's a strong feeling coming up. It's where it all started and it's always my home. I thought I'd come back to Fulham." It is an unwelcome feeling for Tottenham fans.
