Ghanaian winger Abdul Fatawu Issahaku joins Leicester City on a five-year deal

English Premier League club Leicester City have announced the permanent signing of Ghana winger Abdul Fatawu Issahaku on a permanent deal from Sporting CP.

The undisclosed fee deal was finalized after the Foxes exercised a buy option embedded in Fatawu’s contract with Sporting CP, ensuring all necessary clearances were secured for the transfer.

At just 20 years old, the Ghanaian international left a lasting impression during his loan stint at King Power Stadium last season.

His influential performances were instrumental in Leicester City’s successful campaign, which culminated in lifting the Championship title and securing promotion to the Premier League.

In 43 appearances across various competitions last season, Fatawu demonstrated his skill with seven goals, including a memorable hat-trick in a dominant 5-0 win over Southampton at Filbert Way.

To commemorate his permanent signing, Leicester City teamed up with local band and ardent fans, The Mercians.

The Coalville-based musicians surprised Fatawu with a special rendition of the Blue Army’s signature chant during a ceremony at King Power Stadium.
