While many take years to adpat to English football which is harder than every other one, Abdul Fatawu Issahaku shined in his first season in the Championship palyingh a key role to secure Leicester City a Premier League promotion. But what is next for the Ghanaian youngster as the summer transfer window looms in the corner.
The 2004-born quickly caught all the attention with the Foxes he joined on loan last summer from Portugues side Sporting Lisbon.
Fatawu Issahaku had to make a way for himself in an attack line where Jamy Vardy, a Leicester legend and Nigerian Kelechi Iheanacho are inevitable.
If the debut where difficult, the boy from Tamale turned things around and his figures are interesting. Abdul Fatawu Issahaku scored 7 goals and provided 12 assists in 41 appearances across all competitions.
His most memorable performance is the hat-trick against Southampton on Tuesday in a 5-0 thriller of the Saints.
