Abdul Fatawu Issahaku, a young player from Ghana, has finished his season-long loan transfer from Sports Lisbon to Leicester City.
The 19-year-old struggled to find playing time after moving to Portugal a year ago and was forced to accept being alternated between Sporting’s B team and senior side.
Issahaku, however, earned considerable experience through his cameo roles after making his UEFA Champions League debut last October against Olympique Marseille.
