What happened. Steven Sessegnon returned to south-west London to join AFC Wimbledon in the summer after a difficult spell at Wigan Athletic, where he was placed on the transfer list. He and his twin brother Ryan, who also came through Fulham's academy, recently faced each other for the first time.
- Sessegnon spent three years at Wigan, struggling with injuries and limited playing time.
- He is now back home, training near where he grew up and played academy football.
- The twins walked out at Craven Cottage with their daughters last month.
“It's really wholesome to be back. It helps massively being around family.”

Sessegnon aims to rebuild his career at AFC Wimbledon, with a match against Cambridge United coming up on Saturday.
