Ghana international Abdul Fatawu Issahaku has expressed his joy after being crowned Leicester City's Men’s Younger Player of the Season award.

“It was an honour and a privilege to receive this amazing award. I want to thank my team mate and the managements for their support and encouragement throughout the season, and all the foxes 🦊.I am so grateful to everyone who has always been a part of my journey. Thank you” he wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Issahaku is expected to seal a permanent move from Sporting Lisbon to Leicester City for a fee around 17 million Euros.
