When you play against older players, it's always a challenge physically and mentally.
— Ryan Sessegnon
There is a physicality where I had to become a bit bigger to face bigger players.
I always want to improve, and I am never satisfied with my performance.
I think 18 is a good age to make your debut.
I just try to play my normal game, and I don't let other people bother me.
I am a Fulham player. This is my club; I love being at this club.
To step out at Craven Cottage - week in, week out - as a local boy is just extra special.
For someone to have faith in you at the tender age of 16 is massive.
Young players always want to win things.
It has been a dream to play in the Premier League with Fulham.
For me and Steven to both play for Fulham at the same time was special.
It's been a massive confidence booster to know the managers picking you each game in a position where you're playing well. It gives you a lot of belief that you're doing the right things.
I was always focused on staying and playing for Fulham.
When I was younger, I had two players: Luke Shaw and Gareth Bale. When Shaw was at Southampton, he was a left-back, and I loved watching him bomb up and down the wing, create goals, score goals, so I think I try to emulate that. Gareth Bale - same thing, really.
I never expected to win Young Player or Player of the Season because there is some fantastic competition - Ruben Neves at Wolves, James Maddison at Norwich, and Tom Cairney here at Fulham. To win those two awards is a special feeling.
Everyone has helped me, but in particular, Scott Parker 100 per cent. What a person to be around: a great player and just a great human being.
When you are young, you just want to play as many games as you can.
In my head, I used to always think football is what I wanted to do as a career.
I think I am improving with each game, and I just want to keep learning.
My ambition is to be the best I can be.
Coming through the youth ranks at Fulham is a great honour to me.
I'm enjoying my position on the left wing because I think I'm affecting the game more in terms of goals and assists. But I'm happy to play wherever I'm told.
Fulham trust young players.
I am not sure where the future will take me, but I have always wanted to play regular Premier League football.
When we were growing up, we supported Liverpool.
It's great to be compared to someone of the stature of Gareth Bale, but I'm happy to be Ryan Sessegnon.
I think it's good to surround yourself with good people.
I feel attention sometimes in games, from fans and other players. But I just try to play the way I always have, remain focused, and don't let distractions get in my way.
It was my idea to get in the gym. Fulham have pushed me as well to be in there two or three times a week, not just weights but flexibility as well to help my all-round body.
I am becoming a man; I am maturing day by day. The influence of being around men helps me and makes me be more professional.
If I have misplaced a pass, I want to know why I've done that or whether I could have looked at a different pass.
I was about 11 or 12 when I started, playing against bigger players. I would use my speed to get out of trouble.
It would mean everything to go up with Fulham. It is the team that has made me a professional, and it's the team that has given me a chance.
For the fans, for the club, for the young players, I want to show there is a pathway at Fulham for young players to go through in the first team.
My debut season was a good one for me, especially at 16, but I said that I want to improve.
To go away and win a tournament for your country and come back and know that everyone has heard of it and is talking about it gives you confidence going back to your club.
Whenever success does come, I enjoy it for a moment but then put it to the side and focus on the main objective.
Growing up, we were very similar, but Steven got a bad injury. It set him back a year. But for that, we would have progressed at the same time.
I'm liking my role as left-wing is my preferred position.
You see the fans come week-in week-out and show support, so whatever the result, you always have to show love and respect to the fans.
I grew up in Roehampton in the south-west - it's decent!
