Ghanaian youngster Abdul Fatawu Issahaku will be under new management at Leicester City next season following the club’s appointment of Steve Cooper as head coach.
The change comes after a successful season under Enzo Maresca, who recently left to join Chelsea.
Maresca played a crucial role in Leicester’s success last season, leading the team to win the English Championship and secure promotion to the Premier League.
He also helped elevate Issahaku’s performance, bringing the 20-year-old on loan from Sporting Lisbon to the King Power Stadium.
During his time under Maresca, Issahaku enjoyed the most productive season of his young career, contributing seven goals and 13 assists in all competitions.
This impressive performance prompted Leicester to activate the €17 million buy option clause to sign him permanently from Sporting Lisbon.
Despite Maresca’s departure, Issahaku will remain at Leicester and is set to work under Cooper next season. The club announced that Cooper has been appointed on a three-year contract as they aim to be competitive in the Premier League.
Issahaku’s continued development will now be guided by Cooper, as Leicester looks to build on their recent success and establish themselves in the top flight of English football.
