Published on: 09 November 2022

Premier League clubs, Manchester United and Everton have expressed their interest in signing Ghana forward, Abdul Fatawu Issahaku.

The 18-year-old following his move to Sporting Lisbon has seen limited game time despite his prospect.

According to Guardian journalist Ed Aarons, Manchester United could look to pounce for Fatawu Issahaku further down the line, particularly if he impresses at the World Cup.

When asked whether Fatawu Issahaku could join a Premier League club, Aarons told GIVEMESPORT: “I think Manchester United, eventually, in that Bruno Fernandes sort of role just behind the striker, scoring lots of goals.

“He had an amazing record in the Ghanaian league. He was playing men’s football very young and scored loads of goals in that number 10 position. He is a real name to watch.”

The 18-year-old, who is expected to feature in the World Cup, has already recorded 13 appearances for the Black Stars.

Fatawu has featured on six occasions for Portuguese outfit Sporting CP so far this term.

Meanwhile, Everton also sent a scout to watch the youngster during Sporting's Champions League game against Tottenham.

The youngster has been named in Ghana's 55-man provisional squad for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
