Leicester City may have found their new Mahrez. The Algerian winger, who played a starring role in the club’s unforgettable Premier League title triumph, was sold to Manchester City after his historic spell with the Foxes.
Seven years on from his departure, Leicester appear closer than ever to replacing him with a fresh talent.
Several players, including Rachid Ghezzal, were tried as potential replacements, but none succeeded in living up to Mahrez’s legacy. However, 21-year-old Ghanaian winger Abdul Fatawu Issahaku looks like the first to truly come close to filling the void.
This season, Fatawu has already registered 2 goals and 1 assist in just 6 appearances, showcasing both end product and dynamic influence on the pitch. His performances highlight not only his statistical contributions but also his immense potential.
Fatawu joined Leicester last season for €16.25 million, and from the moment he arrived, he has proven to be a highly impactful player. The young talent has already represented Ghana 24 times at international level, scoring 2 goals, further underlining his rapid rise in world football.
