Ghana winger Abdul Fatawu Issahaku has praised Leicester City manager, Enzo Maresca for how he has made him comfortable at the club.

The 19-year-old, on loan from Sporting Lisbon, made the switch to the Foxes just a day before the close of the summer transfer window.

Fatawu said he is able to do what he wants to do because of the Italian manager.

"With what the coach has given me here, I feel so comfortable," Fatawu told BBC Radio Leicester’s ‘When You're Smiling’ podcast.

"It makes me confident to do what I want.

"I like to go and try things. I like to play with the ball, I always want to have the ball and run into space and create chances for the team.

"I thought if I play with him [Maresca] in this role, it will be a good way for me to improve."

Since donning the blue jersey, the Ghanaian international has made seven appearances for Enzo Maresca's squad, securing a spot in the starting lineup for Leicester's last three Championship fixtures.

Leicester City has demonstrated formidable form this season, triumphing in nine out of ten Championship matches, thereby clinching the top spot in the league standings.

Fatawu's impact was evident in their recent clash against Blackburn, where he provided his first assist of the season, setting up Wout Faes for a crucial goal in their commanding 4-1 victory at Ewood Park.
