Fatawu Issahaku: Ghana winger gutted by Leicester City’s relegation to Championship

Ghana winger, Abdul Fatawu Issahaku has expressed regret over Leicester City’s relegation to the English Championship.

The Foxes suffered back-to-back demotion from the top tier and will now play in Ligue 1 despite winning the Premier League title in 2016.

Their drop to the lower tier was confirmed after their 2-2 draw with Hull City in April 2026 with two games to draw the curtains down the season.

Issahaku went down with compatriot Jordan Ayew and it remains to be seen if both players will depart Leicester.

Issahaku who joined Leicester from Portugal side Sporting CP, shared some words with the media during his unveiling as the brand ambassador of Rush Energy Drink.

“I feel amazing. Actually it’s not good because I’m a team player so it’s not feeling good with the position we are,” Fatawu Issahaku told media men during his unveiling as a brand ambassador of Rush Energy Drink.

“I just say I feel happy with my performance but I should have done better.

Issahaku who is attracting interest from Turkish outfit Trabzonspor, made 44 appearances, scoring nine times with eight assists despite suffering an Anterior Cruciate Ligament injury last year.

He was a key member of Ghana’s U-20 squad that won the 2021 Africa U-20 tournament in Mauritania.

The 22-year-old winger has made 27 appearances for the Black Stars with three goals under his belt.

He is expected to play a key role under new Ghana coach Carlos Queiroz at the World Cup where they are paired against Panama, England and Croatia.
