Ghanaian winger Fatawu Issahaku’s astonishing season for Leicester City have been rewarded with a spot in the Sofascore English Championship Team of the Season.
The 20-year-old scored 6 goals with 13 assists in the Championship this season, including a best game performance hat-trick against Southampton.
Despite being relatively new to European senior-level football, having previously played for Sporting Lisbon’s B team, Issahaku quickly adjusted to the style of play of the Championship and became an important player to the Leicester City squad.
Issahaku’s decision to prioritise club football over international duty by opting out of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations proved beneficial, allowing him to focus fully on his club commitments and ultimately reap significant rewards.
Leicester City is eager to retain the promising midfielder and plans to activate his 17 million euros release clause to ensure he becomes a permanent part of their roster.
In the meantime, his parent club Steadfast FC are waiting patiently for his permanent deal to be finalize in order to cash in their onward transfer percentage of 50 percent in sales.
