Abdul Fatawu Issahaku has confirmed his upcoming permanent transfer to Leicester City this summer.
The announcement was made by the talented youngster at the Ghana Football Awards.
The 20 year-old joined The Foxes on loan from Portuguese club Sporting CP last summer, will make his move permanent following a successful season.
During his loan spell, the Ghana international played a pivotal role in Leicester City’s promotion back to the Premier League, contributing six goals and 13 assists.
Leicester City is set to activate the €17 million buyout clause, having seen Issahaku play over 60% of their games last season.
Despite facing a transfer embargo due to profit and sustainability rule violations in the 2022/23 season, the club remains committed to retaining the promising winger.
The deal will see Steadfast FC, Issahaku’s former club, receive 50% of the transfer value once Leicester City pays the €17 million fee.
Since Sporting CP acquired Issahaku in 2022 for €1.2 million, the substantial gain of €15.8 million will be split between Steadfast FC and Sporting CP, with each club receiving €7.9 million.
