Premier League newcomers Ipswich Town are close to reaching an agreement with Leicester City for the transfer of Ghana international forward Abdul Fatawu Issahaku ahead of the new season.
According to Sky Sports, the deal is expected to be worth around £20 million, with Ipswich keen to finalise the move in time for the 22-year-old to join their pre-season preparations in La Manga, Spain.
The newly promoted side’s squad is scheduled to depart for their pre-season training camp later today, and the club hopes Fatawu can be part of the group as they continue preparations for their return to the Premier League.
Fatawu had attracted interest from several top-flight clubs, including Everton, with reports previously indicating that the Merseyside club had reached an agreement on personal terms with the Ghanaian winger. West Ham United and other clubs were also monitoring his situation.
The talented attacker joined Leicester City from Portuguese giants Sporting CP on an initial loan deal in 2023 before the move was made permanent after the Foxes secured promotion back to the Premier League.
Since arriving in England, Fatawu has developed into one of Ghana’s most promising attacking talents, earning recognition as a key player for both club and country.
A move to Portman Road would provide the Black Stars winger with another opportunity to showcase his ability at the highest level as Ipswich prepare for their Premier League campaign.
