Black Stars and Leicester City winger Fatawu Issahaku is optimistic about the 2024-2025 season, with Leicester set to compete in the English Premier League (EPL) after gaining promotion from the EFL Championship.

In an interview with Leicester City media, Issahaku expressed his excitement after signing a permanent five-year deal worth £14 million with The Foxes, following a successful loan spell from Sporting Lisbon during the 2023-2024 season.

Issahaku played a crucial role in Leicester’s promotion, contributing 13 assists and seven goals in 43 games last season. Reflecting on the achievement, he said, “For me, winning promotion was amazing. It felt so good and was one of the best moments in my career. I feel so good, and I just want to keep going. I hope that this season goes well as well.”

He praised his teammates, saying, “They’re amazing teammates. Everyone at the Club was giving energy to the team, and it felt so good. I feel so proud. For me, I take it as the beginning. I’m just getting started.”

Issahaku joins fellow Black Stars players Mohammed Kudus, Jordan Ayew, and Ibrahim Osman as Ghanaian representatives in the EPL.
