Issahaku dances with Ghana flag
Ghanaian youngster Fatawu Issahaku, who joined Leicester City on loan from Sporting CP, contributed to the team’s resounding victory over Preston North End to win the EFL Championship title.
Issahaku served his colleague McAteer up for the team’s third goal to seal their victory. The Ghanaian has now scored seven goals and provided 13 assists for Leicester City in his debut year.
Issahaku has also created 30 big chances for Leicester City, a feat he shares with no other in the league this season.
The player was spotted with a Ghana flag wrapped around his waist, jamming in front of the raving audience in Leicester’s stands, who couldn’t stop chanting his name.
In an exclusive interview with YEN.com.gh, Lawrence Degraft Baidoo, a sports analyst, established that:
“Issahaku has developed significantly under Enzo Maresca, especially with his decision-making in the final third and ability to put in more defensive shifts as compared to before.
“I think in the end, Leicester will take the gamble to sign him permanently, which also means he could be on their pre-season tour. The PL is a difficult terrain but if Fatawu continues to work hard enough, he could get some decent numbers in the top flight,” he added.
