Currently on loan at Leicester City from Sporting CP, Issahaku Abdul Fatawu has greatly impressed under Enzo Maresca in the Championship.
The 19-year-old has three goals and nine assists to his name in 27 Championship games, and there has been a lot of talk about him staying beyond the current season.
Reports have suggested a €17m clause existed that could be triggered if the club were to get promoted, and 3News in Ghana claim the deal for a permanent move to Leicester is already all but done.
The clause was only available if the youngster played in 60% of games and a move up to the Premier League was achieved, and as things stand, the Foxes top the table by nine points with the player starting 72% of games.
That’s why Sporting CP and Leicester have ‘started talks to ensure’ the forward stays in England next season, and a source close to the Portuguese club told 3News: “It’s all formalities now. Just waiting until the end of the season to complete the paperwork.”
Therefore, it seems the 19-year-old will be staying at the King Power Stadium for the foreseeable future, unless something drastic happens to Maresca’s team between now and the end of the season.
