It’s an achievement to play for Leicester City - Abdul Fatawu Issahaku

Published on: 05 October 2023

Ghanaian winger Abdul Fatawu Issahaku says joining Championship club Leicester City is a big achievement for him.

The former Dreams FC man has disclosed it’s always been his dream to play in England.

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.

Although he's already graced the Champions League stage, Fatawu views his venture into England's second tier as a significant milestone.

"Their journey is to go back to the Premier League. That's a big opportunity for me to help," he said.

"For me [joining] Leicester is a big achievement. When I heard they were interested, I was so happy because it's been my dream to play in England,” stated Fatawu in an interview with BBC Radio Leicester.

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.
