Leicester City, led by Abdul Fatatwu Issahaku, has clinched promotion to the Premier League after Leeds United’s loss on Friday evening.
Leeds faced Queens Park Rangers in their second-to-last game of the Championship season, aiming to maintain pressure on Leicester. However, Daniel Farke’s team suffered a 4-0 defeat to QPR, ensuring Leicester’s automatic promotion to the English top flight.
The Foxes are poised to reach the milestone of 100 points as they make their return to the Premier League after last season’s relegation.
Leicester can clinch the Championship title on Monday with a win against Preston, provided that third-placed Ipswich Town fail to defeat Hull City on Saturday.
Ipswich Town could also secure promotion to the Premier League next season if they gather five points from their remaining three matches.
Issahaku has played a crucial role in Enzo Maresca’s squad this season, contributing to 19 goals and assists in the league. The young talent made history earlier this week by scoring a hat-trick against Southampton, becoming the first Ghanaian to achieve this feat in the English second tier.
Issahaku, on loan from Sporting CP in Portugal, hopes to secure a permanent move to Leicester at the end of the season.
