Quotes from Ryan Sessegnon

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.

I always want to improve, and I am never satisfied with my performance.

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.

I just try to play my normal game, and I don't let other people bother me.

There is a physicality where I had to become a bit bigger to face bigger players.

When you play against older players, it's always a challenge physically and mentally.

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.

When we were growing up, we supported Liverpool.

For someone to have faith in you at the tender age of 16 is massive.

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.

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.

Coming through the youth ranks at Fulham is a great honour to me.

I am not sure where the future will take me, but I have always wanted to play regular Premier League football.

I think I am improving with each game, and I just want to keep learning.
