Ryan Sessegnon has spoken of his love for Liverpool and growing up idolising Reds great Steven Gerrard.

The 18-year-old England under-21 international is one of the most highly-rated teenagers in the Premier League having helped Fulham to promotion last season.

Although the Cottagers have struggled this campaign, Sessegnon has been a regular and has scored once and assisted two goals in his last three games.

Liverpool were interested in signing the player 18 months ago only to cool their interest and instead turn their focus on snapping up Andy Robertson from left-back.

But, speaking on the third episode of BT Sport's What I Wore series, Sessegnon has shown no sign his admiration for the Reds has been diminished.

"I remember watching videos of Gerrard number 17, there was one goal I remember that he scored against Everton at Goodison Park (in 2001/02)," said the Fulham left-sided player.

"It was a screamer, a right-footed shot. That's why I remember this kit."

Asked if he had a favourite Liverpool kit, Sessegnon added: "Yeah, I did. It was this one (the 2008/09 kit). Where did I wear it? Near my house to play football.

"I always supported Liverpool so my dad bought me the Gerrard top, he was my favourite player."

Further episodes of What I wore will be released in 2019 and will be available to watch on the BT Sport YouTube channel, Twitter, Facebook and at BTSport.com/WhatIWore
