English Championship side Leicester City has announced the signing of Ghanaian youngster Abdul Fatawu Ishahaku on a season-long loan from Sporting Lisbon.
The 19-year-old Ghanaian will be playing a major role in Enzo Maresca’s squad for the 2023/24 Sky Bet Championship season at King Power Stadium.
The Black Stars winger revealed his excitement after sealing his move to the former English Premier League champions.
“I’m so happy. This is an amazing moment for me, I’m happy to be here. For me, from looking at Leicester and how I felt about the coach, here is the best place for me.
“This was the best moment for me to join Leicester. I chose them because I think they can grow me and help me mature. [Enzo Maresca] told me about the plans he has for me and how he wants me to play – how he wants to help me in my football.”
Fatawu joined the Portuguese side in April 2022 from Ghana premier league side Dreams FC and made his senior debut for the Portuguese side against Rio Ave in August 2022, and featured in their UEFA Champions League campaign last term.
