Steven Sessegnon

Steven Sessegnon is an English-born footballer who plays as a right-back, and occasionally at left-back or in midfield, for AFC Wimbledon in EFL League One. He holds Turkish and Caicos Islands international status and has been capped by that federation since 2023, the year his father's birthplace gave him a route into senior international football.

Most of the attention that comes his way is bound up with his twin brother Ryan, the Fulham and Tottenham winger, and the pair are routinely discussed as a set. Steven's own record is that of a working EFL defender: an academy graduate who signed professional terms at Fulham in 2017, made his senior debut there in 2018, and has since built a career across loans, Wigan and now Wimbledon, where he signed a two-year deal in June 2026 with an option for a third year. He is right-footed, listed at 5 ft 9 in, and rated 64 overall in EA FC 27. [edit]

Zeze Steven Sessegnon was born on 18 May 2000 in Roehampton, in south-west London, arriving on the same day as his twin brother Ryan. The household was a footballing one, and both boys entered the Fulham academy at a young age, progressing through the same age groups on the same schedule. Their father comes from the Turks and Caicos Islands, a detail that would matter considerably later, when Steven reached the point of choosing a senior international allegiance.

Fulham's academy in that period was producing a steady flow of first-team players, and the Sessegnon twins were among the most talked about names in it. Ryan's rapid rise through the age groups drew national coverage while Steven developed more quietly as a defender, the less conspicuous half of the pairing. The two trained and played alongside each other for years, which meant the comparisons began early and never really stopped.

The formative step came in 2017, when Fulham handed him his first professional contract. He was 17. A year later came the senior debut, the moment that ends the academy story and starts the professional one. Before that, his football was youth-team football: schoolboy fixtures, age-group leagues, and the long apprenticeship that Fulham's setup asks of its scholars. [edit]

The professional career began at Craven Cottage. After signing in 2017, Sessegnon made his Fulham senior debut in 2018 and accumulated more than 30 appearances across competitions, mostly in cup football and off the bench as the club moved between the Championship and the Premier League. First-team minutes were hard to come by in a squad of that standard, and the club sent him out on loan to Bristol City and then Plymouth Argyle to get regular football.

A permanent move followed in 2023, when he joined AFC Wimbledon and settled into League One football as a squad regular. A spell at Wigan Athletic came next, one he later described in blunt terms as a very, very tough period, before he returned south. In June 2026 he signed for AFC Wimbledon on a two-year contract with an option for a further year, a return to a club where he had already been established.

August 2026 produced the fixture that drew the widest coverage of his career: Fulham against AFC Wimbledon, with Steven lining up against Ryan. The match finished in Fulham's favour, and the twins' meeting was reported well beyond the usual League One beat. He continues in League One for the 2026-27 season. [edit]

Media coverage of Sessegnon almost always routes through his brother. Sky Sports framed his 2026 move to AFC Wimbledon around the twin connection rather than his own record, and the same framing recurs in match previews and reports. He is presented as the quieter, more workmanlike half of the pairing, a defender rather than a headline attacker.

His own public presence is modest. Instagram (@stevensess43) and X (@_StevenSess) are his channels, used sparingly and without much of the branding apparatus that surrounds higher-profile players. The persona is that of an EFL professional getting on with the job: no controversy, no elaborate personal brand, no media footprint beyond the football itself. [edit]

iFANN has not yet collected fame data for Steven Sessegnon, so no placement in the Global Fame Rankings can be stated for him at this stage. He is not on the September 2026 iFAMOUS Rankings flagship list.

The audience around him is conventional club support rather than a fandom in the organised sense. AFC Wimbledon followers treat him as a squad player in a League One side, and there is no documented fan group, nickname or campaign attached to him individually. Interest spikes around two things: the twin fixture against Ryan and the Turks and Caicos Islands international windows.

The twin angle is what drives most casual search traffic, and it is the hook on which his wider visibility rests. Beyond that, attention tracks his club's results and little else. [edit]

His full first name is Zeze, which almost never appears on a teamsheet. He and Ryan are among the more recent sets of footballing brothers to face each other professionally, doing so when Fulham met AFC Wimbledon in August 2026.

He is right-footed but has been used on the left side of defence and in midfield, a flexibility that has kept him in squads at several clubs. He is rated 64 overall in EA FC 27, a number fans of the game tend to know before they know the player.

The story supporters still retell is the twin fixture itself: two brothers born the same day, raised in the same academy, playing against each other in a competitive senior match. It is the first thing most neutrals learn about him and, for now, the defining anecdote of his career. [edit]

Sessegnon's father is from the Turks and Caicos Islands, a Caribbean British Overseas Territory, and that heritage determined which national team Steven would represent once senior football became a realistic prospect. His twin brother Ryan, born the same day in 2000, plays as a winger and has appeared for Fulham, Tottenham and England at youth level. The two grew up together in south-west London and came through the Fulham academy in the same cohort.

He keeps his private life largely out of public view and has not publicly confirmed a partner or children. [edit]

Sessegnon has not publicly confirmed a romantic relationship. No marriage, engagement or long-term partner has been documented by credible sources, and search interest in a wife or children is not matched by any reporting.

As of 2026 he appears to be single and private about his personal life. [edit]

No credible outlet publishes a net-worth figure for Steven Sessegnon, and the numbers that circulate in search results are fan speculation rather than reporting. His earnings come from professional contracts: the Fulham deal signed in 2017, loan arrangements at Bristol City and Plymouth Argyle, his AFC Wimbledon terms from 2023, the Wigan spell, and the two-year contract agreed with Wimbledon in June 2026 that carries an option for a further year.

EFL League One wages sit well below Championship and Premier League levels, and a defender moving between clubs at that tier builds modest capital rather than a portfolio. There are no documented endorsement deals, business ventures or property holdings attached to his name.

Estimates of his fortune vary widely online, and the iFANN Editorial Team's own analysis of his contract history points to roughly $1 Million as of 2026. That figure reflects career football earnings to date and should be read as an approximation, not an audited number. [edit]
