#4 Steven Sessegnon - Fulham FC ( EFL Championship)

Steven Sessegnon unlike most of his national teammates plays for Fulham FC in a lower division. While the Cottagers seem to be struggling to get back to their glory days, their young fullback Sessegnon has made quite an impact.

Fulham v Hull City - The Emirates FA Cup Fourth Round
Sessegnon has been heavily praised by Pundits for his performances

Sessegnon joined Fulham as a nine-year-old in 2008 and has been with them since, rising through the ranks.The Englishman plays primarily as a left back but has a knack of scoring goals. In his 31 appearances for Fulham first team so far, since 2016 he has netted 6 times including a goal in his FA Cup debut against Cardiff, where he became one of the youngest to score in the World's oldest Cup competition.

His performances earned him a place in the PFA Championship Team of the Year. Sessegnon played up a year and represented England in the European U19 Championships earlier this year where the Young Lions were crowned champions. Lauded by pundits and even called the future of English football, he will be one to look out for.
