Abdul Fatawu is indisputably gifted enough to carve out a glittering success story within the testing theatre of the Premier League. While the precocious Ghanaian must undeniably refine his raw consistency and sharpen a sometimes-wandering concentration, nobody possessing even half a footballing brain could remotely deny the staggering depth of his applicable talents.
The Fox's explosive pace, trickery and finishing represent a rare currency in the modern game. Yet the Blue Army must now stoically resign themselves to the heartbreaking reality that their star is almost certainly destined to vacate the LE2 postcode this summer.
​Nevertheless, a flickering flame of hope remains that Fatawu, alongside the industrious, goalscoring Jordan James and their questionable contemporary peers, can orchestrate a final act of defiance to keep Leicester City within the EFL Championship before their likely, respective departures from King Power Stadium.
What could be next for Leicester City standout Abdul Fatawu
While Sunderland are ostensibly very keen on the Foxes winger (viewing him as a suitable candidate to illuminate the Stadium of Light) the allure of Merseyside arguably presents a more compelling narrative. Everton, the historic "School of Science", arguably offers a more fitting and probable sanctuary where Fatawu's expansive game would be meticulously developed and improved.

There was a time not so long ago when LCFC would have provided the very environment for growth within the English top flight themselves. Alas, those halcyon days of stability and flourishing have temporarily vanished, and the player is now said to fervently desire a swift return to the EPL'S embrace.

With reports suggesting the 22-year-old is "open" to joining the Toffees, the prospect of him sprinting down the Goodison Park touchline feels less like a mere transfer rumour and more plausible scenario for a player far too luminous for the shadows of the second or third tier.
