Ghanaian winger Abdul Fatawu Issahaku is brimming with excitement as he gears up for the 2024/25 Premier League season. The 20-year-old, who played a pivotal role in Leicester City’s promotion to the top flight, can’t wait to make his debut on the grand stage of English football.
Issahaku’s stellar performance on loan in the English Championship last season made waves, with the young talent contributing seven goals and 13 assists across all competitions. His impressive form was a key factor in Leicester City’s return to the Premier League, and it didn’t go unnoticed. The Foxes wasted no time in triggering a €17 million buy option to secure Issahaku’s permanent transfer from Sporting Lisbon.
As the new Premier League season approaches, Issahaku is in high spirits, having participated in Leicester’s pre-season matches against Palermo, Augsburg, and Lens. The former Steadfast FC star is confident that both he and his teammates are well-prepared for the challenges ahead.
“It’s just all about the team,” Issahaku said in an interview with Leicester City’s official website. “As we look forward to the season, it was a good test for us today to keep learning, and I think we’ll look into the game and get the right things done. We’ll keep on going. As we always keep working and learning how to go into the season, the whole team is ready for the season.”
Issahaku’s enthusiasm is palpable as he eagerly anticipates his first taste of Premier League action. “I feel good. As with the team, we all feel so good to start the season and we’ll keep on working until the season starts. I’m looking forward to this season and I can’t wait to get it started.”
Leicester City, under the guidance of their manager, are set to kick off their Premier League campaign with a challenging fixture against Tottenham Hotspur on Monday. With Issahaku raring to go, the Foxes will be hoping to make a strong statement in their return to the top tier of English football.
