Fatawu Issahaku has been in dazzling form for Leicester City since his arrival in August last year, but manager Enzo Maresca believes there is still room for growth.
The 19-year-old winger showcased his skills by scoring the decisive goal with a remarkable left-footed strike from distance against Bournemouth in the FA Cup, securing Leicester’s place in the quarterfinals.
Following the match, Maresca jokingly remarked, “Fatawu has taken around 25 shots during his time at Leicester, and I’m used to seeing those shots end up in the stands. I’m glad this one finally found the net, but I hope we won’t have to wait another 25 shots for his next goal because that would be too long.”
Although Fatawu has faced criticism in the past for his inconsistent shooting, Maresca has noticed an improvement. However, he still believes there’s potential for even greater precision.
The Ghanaian youngster has notched four goals and nine assists for Leicester City so far this season.
