Leicester City have triggered the €17 million buy option for winger Abdul Fatawu Issahaku.
The Ghana International has had a remarkable season for the FOXES after joining the English Championship side on loan from Portuguese side, Sporting Lisbon last summer.
After 39 games, Issahaku has scored six goals and 13 league assists for Leicester, making him the club’s second-most assist provider, behind Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.
Sporting Lisbon manager, Ruben Amorim, confirmed the imminent deal.
“We will make money. Talented players who don't adapt here will move to other clubs and give us added value, it's our system," Amorim said.
Sporting Lisbon signed Abdul Fatawu Issahaku in 2022 from Ghanaian side, Steadfast FC. Meanwhile, Steadfast FC would receive €7.9 million out of the transfer fee.
The Ghanaian club inserted a 50% sell-on clause in Issahaku’s contract when he joined Sporting three years ago.
However, his time at the club wasn’t what both parties had hoped for, resulting in his loan move to Leicester at the start of the 2023/2024 season.
Meanwhile, Leicester City have booked promotion back to the Premier League at the first time of asking, after being relegated to the Championship in the 2022/2023 season.
