Ghana star Abdul Fatawu Issahaku has expressed his joy after completing a move to English Championship side Leicester City.
The highly-rated teen-sensation joined the Foxes on a season-long loan deal from Sporting Lisbon.
The 19-year-old arrives at King Power Stadium having impressed at domestic and international level in the early stages of his career.
Speaking to the club’s website after signing his contract, Fatawu said:
“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.”
Born in the Ghanaian city of Tamale, Fatawu started his senior career with Steadfast FC, and quickly established himself as one of his country’s most exciting talents.
