Ryan Sessegnon will join a top-four club in the Premier League "in the next few years", according to the teenager's Fulham teammate Ryan Fredericks.

Ryan Sessegnon will be playing for a top-four club in the Premier League "in the next few years", according to the youngster's Fulham teammate Ryan Fredericks.

Sessegnon is widely regarded as one of the best teenage talents in English football, with the 18-year-old scoring 15 Championship goals for playoff finalists Fulham during the 2017-18 campaign.

Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal have all been credited with an interest in the left-sided player over the last 12 months.

Fredericks has no doubts that Sessegnon "will go right to the top" as he continues to develop.

"I have no doubt about it, and everyone at the club will say the same thing, Ryan will go right to the top," Fredericks told The Mirror.

"He will be playing for a top-four club in the next few years, if not I will be very, very surprised. The ability he has got and the understanding of the game at such a young age.

"The experience he is getting over the last two seasons and the level head he has got on his shoulders, no matter how high he goes he's not going to forget where he has come from, forget his roots, and everyone around him.

"We've been with him in the last two years and not one of us have heard him talk about another club. He's got great respect for Fulham and he loves it here. I'm sure one day he will be playing at a top, top level."

Fulham will take on Aston Villa in the Championship playoff final this weekend.
