Jokanovic: 'Sessegnon future out of my hands'

Fulham boss Slavisa Jokanovic believes that Ryan Sessegnon made a "fantastic decision" in snubbing a summer exit, but admits the youngster may be on his way in January.

Slavisa Jokanovic has admitted that growing interest in Ryan Sessegnon is 'satisfying' for Fulham, but concedes that the young full-back may be on his way out of the club in January.

Sessegnon remains one of the hottest properties outside of the Premier League, seeing his name linked with the likes of Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool.

Real Madrid are the latest side rumoured to have shown an interest and, with speculation refusing to go away ahead of the opening of the transfer window next week, Jokanovic concedes that he cannot offer any assurances to supporters over the 17-year-old's Craven Cottage future.

"It's nice for him and for the club too. And if you want to say, it's nice for myself, I must be satisfied because big clubs are interested in our player," he told reporters.

"I wish he is going to stay with me, but it's not in my control. I believe he's a clever man, believe the people around him are clever enough, he's played more than 50 games, he's 17.

"I know in the past in the last summer there's been interest around him but he took the decision to stay with us - a fantastic decision in my opinion.

"At the end of the day he's only 17 - he's got time. The future for this kid is bright, I don't know when some news will happen. Right now this kid plays so well, I can't control this situation."

Sessegnon rejected interest from elsewhere in the summer and instead penned his first professional contract with the Cottagers, seeing him through until 2020.
