The meteoric rise of Abdul Fatawu, a winger whose boots often seem laced with pure electricity, began starring long before he graced the East Midlands. A product of the Tamale Utrecht Academy, his journey took him through the tactical rigors of Sporting CP before he found his true rhythm at Leicester City.
According to WhoScored, Fatawu is a specialist in the direct: a traditional "inside-forward" who thrives on cutting in from the right flank to unleash a venomous left foot. Only not always accurately. His profile is one of explosive pace and high-volume dribbling, a nightmare for full backs who find themselves retreating into their own penalty area as he advances.
​Yet, this current campaign has been a paradox of frustration and brilliance. While Fatawu has occasionally appeared a man apart (showing glimmers of Premier League-level excellence with his ability to turn a game on a sixpence) consistency has remained an elusive mistress.
Nevertheless, the cold reality of quality dictates that League One won't be graced by the Ghanaian star next season. LCFC, shackled by the grim necessity of balancing books following staggering financial losses, will treat their prized asset as a sacrificial lamb should the unthinkable relegation occur.
What's probably next for Leicester City standout Abdul Fatawu
​Even placement in the EFL Championship offers no guarantee of Fatawu remaining, by a long chalk. The LE2 club's economic fragility demands a marquee departure.
"Leicester City winger Abdul Fatawu is still firmly on the radar of Premier League duo Everton and Sunderland, sources have told Football Insider.FI
The Ghana international is ready to jump at the chance of a move to the Premier League this summer, and there are several clubs who are keen to pounce to add him to their squads for next season."
Football Insider has ostensibly confirmed that the hunt is on, with EPL battle lines drawn between two historic institutions. Both Everton and Sunderland are reportedly locked in a pursuit to secure the 21-year-old's signature. For the player, the path forward is clear: the wingman is supposedly happy to join either the Toffees or the Black Cats, ready to jump at the chance to reclaim his place in the big time whilst the Foxes slump!
