Leicester City Football Club has officially signed promising young winger, Abdul Fatawu Issahaku from Sporting Lisbon for an undisclosed fee.

The Foxes secured full league and international clearance for the transfer by activating the buy option in Fatawu’s contract with Sporting CP.

The 20-year-old Ghanaian international shone during his loan spell at King Power Stadium last season, playing a key role in Leicester City’s triumph in the Sky Bet Championship and their promotion to the Premier League.

Fatawu has now committed to a five-year contract with the club.

Last season, Fatawu made 43 appearances in all competitions for the Foxes, scoring seven goals, including his first career hat-trick in a 5-0 victory over Southampton at Filbert Way.

He quickly became a fan favourite among the Blue Army.

At the senior level, he has represented his country on 19 occasions, featuring in the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, and more recently in the Africa Cup of Nations.

Abdul Ftawu Issahaku will reunite with his Leicester City teammates as preparations continue for the Premier League opener against Tottenham Hotspur on Monday 19 August.
