What Josh Onomah has said about leaving Spurs and signing for Fulham in Ryan Sessegnon deal

Ryan Sessegnon has finally completed a move to Tottenham Hotspur.

Spurs have been chasing the teenager for the last few transfer windows, and Mauricio Pochettino and Daniel Levy have finally got their man.

But there was another factor in Sessegnon arriving at Tottenham - a player going in the other direction.

That player was Josh Onomah, who had been at Spurs since 2015, but failed to make a significant impression on the first team.

He had loan spells with Aston Villa, in 2017/18, and Sheffield Wednesday, in 2018/19, but has now left the club permanently as part of the deal to sign Sessegnon from Fulham.

Onomah has signed a three-year contract at Craven Cottage, with Fulham having an option for a further 12 months, keeping him in SW6 until at least the summer of 2022.

And upon signing his deal, Onomah said: "I’m over the moon. It’s a proud moment for me and my family and I’m looking forward to the new challenge.

“I know the gaffer and Matt Wells so I’m looking forward to working under them, getting started, and making a huge impact here.”
