But Whites boss Parker says he expects Sessegnon to contribute to Fulham’s push for an immediate return to the Premier League after the player recovers from a hamstring injury.

Sessegnon, 19, limped off during England’s Under-21 European Championships defeat to Romania last month and has not featured in Fulham’s pre-season campaign.

“He’s rehabbing back to a point where he can feature,” said Parker, who started alongside Sessegnon when the Roehampton-born youngster made his Fulham debut aged 16. “We’ll try everything we can [to keep him].

“We’ll see what will happen from there but at this present time, with 10 days [of the transfer window] to go, he’s a Fulham player and we fully expect him to rehab back from his injury and play a big part.”
