Ghanaian winger Abdul Fatawu Issahaku has emerged as one of the most sought-after young talents in English football, with two Premier League clubs vying for his signature.
The 21-year-old, who currently plays for Leicester City, is attracting strong interest from newly promoted Sunderland and fellow top-flight side Everton.
Sunderland are reported to have already tabled a €32 million bid for the Black Stars international, though the Foxes turned down the offer.
Leicester are said to value the forward at around £30 million.
Issahaku’s rise has been rapid since joining Leicester, where his pace, creativity and ability to cut inside have made him a standout performer.
His performances last season played a vital role in Leicester’s campaign, and his growing influence has made him a target for clubs looking to bolster their attacking options.
Sunderland, returning to the Premier League this season, are eager to strengthen their squad to ensure survival in the top flight.
Club officials reportedly view Issahaku as a marquee signing capable of lifting the team’s attacking threat.
Everton, meanwhile, are also monitoring the situation closely as they look to add depth and flair to their forward line.
The Ghana international has long been seen as one of Africa’s brightest young prospects. His development has been closely followed by European scouts since his early teenage years, and he has already established himself as an important player for the Black Stars on the international stage.
While Leicester appear determined to hold onto their prized asset, pressure from Premier League rivals may test their resolve as the transfer window progresses. With Sunderland and Everton circling, Issahaku’s future could become one of the defining transfer sagas of the summer.
