Ghana winger Abdul Fatawu Issahaku has expressed his eargerness to play in the Premier League with Leicester City.

This was after the club announced his permanent signing from Sporting CP on Tuesday on a five-year deal.

The 20-year-old, who spent last season there, said he is so motivated to play in the Premier League for the first time.

“I feel so much motivation to be in the Premier League. It’s something new to me. I’m going to go hard for that, with the team. I can’t wait to see [my team-mates].

“I’ve missed them so much. They are like a family now. I didn’t think I’d miss some of them, but when I went away, I was really missing them! I can’t wait to see them.”

His influential performances in the Championship were instrumental in Leicester City's successful campaign, which culminated in lifting the title and securing promotion to the Premier League.

In 43 appearances across various competitions last season, Fatawu demonstrated his skill with seven goals, including a memorable hat-trick in a dominant 5-0 win over Southampton at Filbert Way.
