Abdul Fatawu Issahaku has confirmed his upcoming permanent transfer to Leicester City this summer, as reported by Sportblog247.com. The talented youngster made the announcement at the Ghana Football Awards.

Issahaku initially joined The Foxes on loan from Portuguese club Sporting CP last summer. Following a successful season, he will now make his move permanent. During his loan spell, the Ghana international played a key role in Leicester City’s promotion back to the Premier League, contributing six goals and 13 assists.

Leicester City is set to activate the €17 million buyout clause after Issahaku played in over 60% of their games last season. Despite facing a transfer embargo due to profit and sustainability rule violations in the 2022/23 season, the club is committed to retaining the promising winger.

As part of the deal, Steadfast FC, Issahaku’s former club, will receive 50% of the transfer value once Leicester City pays the €17 million fee. Since Sporting CP acquired Issahaku in 2022 for €1.2 million, the substantial gain of €15.8 million will be split between Steadfast FC and Sporting CP, with each club receiving €7.9 million.
