Ghana winger Abdul Fatawu Issahaku has described joining Leicester City on a permanent deal as amazing.

The Foxes announced the deal on Tuesday after triggering a buy clause in his loan move from Sporting CP last season.

Reacting to the move, the former Steadfast and Dreams FC star, was thrilled the deal was finally announced.

“I feel amazing. It’s so good to be back and I’m just back to focus again for next season,” Fatawu told the club’s media team.

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.

The club even went a step further to commemorate his permanent signing by teaming up with local band and ardent fans, The Mercians.

The Coalville-based musicians surprised Fatawu with a special rendition of the Blue Army's signature chant during a ceremony at King Power Stadium.
