During Lescester’s Championship campaign last season, Abdul Fatawu Issahaku earned the prestigious goal of the season award for the month of May, as his team secured promotion to the 2024/2025 EPL.

The Ghanaian winger who was included in Otto Addo’s 26-man squad that faced Mali and the Central African Republic (CAR) in their World Cup qualifier scored a remarkable curler against Southampton which contributed to their return to the Premier League.

During his loan spell in England, Issahaku showcased his skills by scoring a hat-trick against another EPL team, solidifying his impressive performance.

This success gave Leicester City the option to activate his buy clause from Sporting Lisbon.

Additionally, his second goal of the treble earned him the Goal of the Month accolade.

Not only has Issahaku excelled on the field, but he was also recognized as the club’s best young player.

Throughout his loan period, he scored six goals and provided 13 assists, showcasing his versatility and impact.
