Leicester City manager Martí Cifuentes has heaped praise on Abdul Fatawu Issahaku following the winger’s decisive goal in the Foxes’ narrow victory over Charlton Athletic over the weekend.
After suffering back-to-back defeats, Leicester bounced back with a 1-0 win at The Valley on Saturday, thanks to Issahaku’s brilliant curling effort just three minutes into the second half.
Speaking to the club’s media, Cifuentes lauded the 20-year-old’s impact and described him as a vital part of his side’s attack.
“I trust his quality,” the Spanish gaffer said. “It was a fantastic goal that summarises very well what Abdul means for us.
“He has an extreme quality in the last third,” he added.
Issahaku will be aiming to build on his fine form when Leicester host Birmingham City at the King Power Stadium this weekend in the Championship.
The in-form winger is also expected to earn a place in Ghana’s squad for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Chad and Mali next month.
