Tottenham Hotspur may have brought in Ryan Sessegnon this summer from Fulham, but they had to wave goodbye to Josh Onomah as a part exchange in the deal (BBC).
The 22-year-old was an academy graduate at Tottenham, but was never really able to catch Pochettino’s eye with his spells out on loan.
The youngster made just 13 League appearances for Spurs during his four senior seasons at the club before moving down to the Championship (Wikipedia).
In that time, he also had loan spells at Aston Villa and Sheffield Wednesday, where he made a total of 51 appearances and scored four goals.
Fulham fans got the first taste of their new player this week as they took to the pitch to face Southampton in the Carabao Cup.
The Cottagers lost 1-0 to the Premier League side, which may have been expected, but some Fulham fans certainly were not happy with Onomah’s performance on his debut.
Onomah was worse

Onomah is fucking dreadful

Was very impressed by Rodak. O’Reily and McDonald were also very good tonight. Underwhelmed by first viewing of Onomah but guessing he is only just becoming match fit, Reid and then Christie both unlucky not to open their Fulham accounts in the first half.

What have I learned tonight? McDonald should be higher up the pecking order than Stefjo. Christie and Onomah nowhere near the 1st team. DLT needs to find a new job. Rodak is better than Betts #ffc

Onomah… Have to be honest and say was pretty anonymous today. Seemed to have instructions to run around behind the striker and look busy. First game, lot to do to break into matchday 18 on tonight's viewing.
