Abdul
Fatawu
Issahaku
is
thrilled
to
join
Leicester
City
on
a
permanent
deal
after
impressive
during
his
loan
spell
last
season.

The
20-year-old
Ghana
international
was
a
key
player
for
the
Foxes
in
the
Championship
last
season
helping
them
regain
their
top
flight
status.

After
scoring
six
goals
with
13
assists
in
40
games,
Leicester
City
clinched
the
trophy
and
made
their
way
back
to
the
Premier
League,
Issahaku’s
contributions
were
rewarded
as
he
was
named
Young
Player
of
The
Season.

He
has
now
signed
a
five-year
contract
in
a
£14m
deal
from
Portuguese
side
Sporting
CP

“I
feel
amazing.
It’s
so
good
to
be
back
and
I’m
just
back
to
focus
again
for
next
season.
I
feel
so
much
motivation
to
be
in
the
Premier
League.
It’s
something
new
to
me.
I’m
going
to
go
hard
for
that,
with
the
team.”

“I
can’t
wait
to
see
[my
team-mates].
I’ve
missed
them
so
much.
They
are
like
a
family
now.
I
didn’t
think
I’d
miss
some
of
them,
but
when
I
went
away,
I
was
really
missing
them!
I
can’t
wait
to
see
them.”

As
the
campaign
progressed,
he
improved
significantly
and
delivered
the
standout
individual
performance
of
City’s
title-winning
season
by
scoring
a
hat-trick
in
a
5-0
thrashing
of
Southampton.

Fatawu
is
set
to
join
the
squad
immediately
for
pre-season
in
preparation
for
their
Premier
League
return.

The
Foxes
will
welcome
Tottenham
in
their
first
game
of
the
2024/255
Premier
League
season.
