Leicester City have confirmed the departure of winger Abdul Fatawu Issahaku, who has joined Championship rivals Ipswich Town. The Ghanaian international, who spent last season on loan at Sporting CP, has now made a permanent move to Portman Road after his contract with the Foxes expired. The club finished 23rd in the Championship last season with 46 points, 12 wins, 16 draws, and 18 losses from 46 games, scoring 58 goals and conceding 68 for a -10 goal difference, ending 49 points behind leaders Coventry City.

What does this mean for Leicester City?

Issahaku's exit marks another change in the squad as Leicester City look to rebuild ahead of the new Championship campaign. The 21-year-old joined the club in 2022 but struggled to make a consistent impact, spending time out on loan. His departure frees up space for new signings as the Foxes aim to strengthen their squad after a disappointing season.

Why did Issahaku leave?

The winger's contract was set to expire, and with limited playing time at Leicester City, he sought a fresh start. Ipswich Town, who finished 9th in the Championship last season, see him as a valuable addition to their attacking options. Issahaku's pace and creativity could be key for the Tractor Boys as they push for promotion.

What’s next for Leicester City?

With pre-season underway, Leicester City are expected to announce new signings soon. The club will be looking to improve their squad depth, particularly in attack, after scoring just 58 goals last season. Manager Enzo Maresca will be keen to bring in players who can make an immediate impact as they aim to bounce back from their struggles in the 2025 campaign.
