Leicester City's promising forward, Abdul Fatawu Issahaku, took a meaningful turn in his flourishing career by paying a visit to Hon. Haruna Iddrisu, a key figure in his football journey in Ghana.

The purpose of the visit was to convey his deep appreciation for the support and guidance provided by Hon. Iddrisu throughout his career from the grassroots to the professional level.

Fatawu Issahaku was recently the recipient of Leicester City Men's Young Player of the Season award.

The talented 20-year-old on loan from Sporting Lisbon was recognized for his exceptional skills and contributions to the team throughout the season.

Issahaku's impact was felt profoundly as he notched up an impressive tally of six goals from the wing. Among his standout performances was a wonderful hat-trick in Leicester's dominant 5-0 victory over Southampton.

However, Issahaku's influence extended beyond scoring goals; his creative flair resulted in an astonishing 13 assists throughout the season, cementing his status as one of Leicester's key playmakers.

The 20-year-old made his club debut in the Championship just three days after signing, coming on as a 54th-minute substitute in a 1–0 home loss to Hull City. He quickly established himself as a key player for the Foxes, scoring his first goal for the club in a 3–1 away win against Swansea City on 21 October 2023.

Leicester City remains engaged in negotiations with Sporting Lisbon regarding a potential permanent transfer.
