Fulham star fears Aleksandar Mitrovic and Ryan Sessegnon will desert team if they're relegated

Denis Odoi fears Fulham will lose star players such as Aleksandar Mitrovic and Ryan Sessegnon if they drop out of the Premier League.

Fulham are staring down the barrel of relegation and yesterday sacked manager Claudio Ranieri, who was only appointed in November.

Relegation would not only be a hammer blow to Fulham financially, but it could also have a huge impact on their current squad and Belgian defender Odoi said: “‘Mitro’ has shown that he has quality to play in the Premier League and there are going to be teams that are interested in him, while ‘Sess’ has shown he is a promising, talented footballer, so obviously teams are looking at him.

“It is what it is, but if players leave, hopefully we get others that have quality.”

Sessegnon is still yet to sign a new deal and will have 12 months to run on his contract in the summer, while Mitrovic is likely to attract strong interest after scoring 10 Premier League goals this season.
