Published on: 29 April 2024

Leicester City's successful return to the Premier League has been highlighted by the outstanding performance of Ghanaian winger Fatawu Issahaku.

The winger, on loan from Sporting Lisbon, emerged as a key player in the team's successful campaign, earning plaudits for his exceptional contributions on the field.

Issahaku's impact was felt profoundly as he notched up an impressive tally of six goals from the wing. Among his standout performances was a wonderful hat-trick in Leicester's dominant 5-0 victory over Southampton.

However, Issahaku's influence extended beyond scoring goals; his creative flair resulted in an astonishing 13 assists throughout the season, cementing his status as one of Leicester's key playmakers.

Alongside teammates Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Jannik Vestergaard, Stephy Mavididi, and Mads Hermansen, Issahaku played an instrumental role in Leicester's ascent back to the top flight of English football

The 20-year-old made his club debut in the Championship just three days after signing, coming on as a 54th-minute substitute in a 1–0 home loss to Hull City. He quickly established himself as a key player for the Foxes, scoring his first goal for the club in a 3–1 away win against Swansea City on 21 October 2023.

Leicester City were promoted back to the Premier League when Leeds United suffered a 4-0 defeat to Queens Park Rangers on Friday evening at the Loftus Road Stadium.

According to Transfermarkt, Fatawu Issahaku's current market value stands at €7,000,000.
