Fulham defender Steven Sessegnon has become Plymouth Argyle’s third signing of the January transfer window, joining on loan until the end of the season.

The young defender spent last season on loan at Sky Bet Championship side Bristol City, making 18 appearances in total.

Steven is the twin brother of Tottenham Hotspur winger Ryan, and has featured 19 times for his parent club.

He is an exciting signing for the Greens and is a player well known to both Director of Football Neil Dewsnip and Assistant Manager Keith Downing through the England set-up.

Steven has played at every England youth age group since he was fifteen and has five caps for the under-21 side.

Whilst working with Dewsnip, Steven was part of the England under-17 side that won the World Cup in India in 2017.

He played five times during that tournament including a start in the final - which England won 5-2 against Spain.

The 21-year-old, who has played the majority of career at right full back, was part of the Fulham under-18 side that knocked Argyle’s Academy out of the FA Youth Cup in 2016.

He was a regular in the senior side the year they won promotion to the Premier League under Scott Parker in 19/20, but is yet to feature this term.

On signing for the Greens, Steven said: ““I am very happy to be here and once I got the phone call, my mind was set.

“I knew that this side wants to get promoted, that was a big thing for me wanting to come here and win some games.

“I just want to play in a good side that wins week in week out and it’s clear this side wants to win. It was an easy choice for me to come here.”

Manager Steven Schumacher added: “We are delighted to have Steven join us at Argyle.

“He is a young player who has Championship experience as well as representing England at youth and under-21 level. He will be a great addition to our squad and will provide competition in the wing back areas of the pitch or even in midfield.

“We look forward to seeing him on the pitch and we are sure the Green Army will be excited to see Steven play.”

Argyle Director of Football, Neil Dewsnip said: ““He is a player that myself and Keith Downing have worked with at national team level, and I had the honour to be with him when we won the under-17 World Cup in 2017 in India.

“There is no doubt he is a boy with immense talent who will I am sure be challenging fiercely for a starting place.”

Steven will wear the no.17 shirt for the remainder of the 21/22 campaign, and will be sponsored by Platinum Car Centre.

Welcome to Home Park, Steven.

.

So Shuey was joshing us with all his striker talk. Lol. This is just what we needed and the lad looks like he has real talent, great signing get him straight in the team.

A great signing! Welcome to Argyle Steven.

Means Garrick can focus on being a striker.

Surprised we did a deadline day deal for once.

Good signing.  18 appearances last season in the Championship and an England U21 is a cut above  Argo's usual last day loan signings.

Fair shout to the lad for coming to Argyle , I hope he enjoys his time here.

Just hope he is as good as his brother unlike the other brother we had from fulham

Defence was the priority, looks a good signing. I think we have some good scoring options in the team. Am ok with the current squad coming into the business end of the season.

Should be good enough for a top 10 place certainly

Agree Angry.

If we are aiming top ten then why bother signing anybody? We could do that with the squad we had.

Timmy came from Fulham.

Steven Sessegnon is set to be added to the Plymouth Argyle squad for their forthcoming away doubleheader against Gillingham and Cambridge United.

The transfer deadline day loan signing from Fulham has not been involved in any of the Pilgrims' three games since he arrived at Home Park.

Manager Steven Schumacher expects to have England under-21 international Sessegnon available for those games.

Schumacher said: "He is more than likely going to be involved next weekend. Having had the news on Dan off Nick (Fulton, Argyle's head physio), the squad was what it was.

"The plan for him is to be fully involved next weekend and travel with us for those games."

Big boost with Scarr out as well.

Good news.
