“I’m very pleased to play for Hoffenheim,” said Sessegnon. “First of all, thank you for welcoming me to this club. I’m so excited to be leaving. It’s a club that turns young players into wonderful players in one of the most competitive leagues in the world, so I’m pleased to be here. And I can’t wait to get started. “
Sessegnon rose to prominence in the Fulham team that was promoted to the English Premier League as winners of the 2017/18 championship. He was also part of the England U19 team that won UEFA Euro U19 2017. The Londoner joined Spurs last summer. He was limited to 12 appearances in all competitions during the 2019/20 campaign.
