The young talent played a pivotal role in Leicester’s triumphant Championship campaign last season, prompting the club to activate their purchase option for an undisclosed fee.

Fatawu’s Impact on Leicester’s Championship Success

During his loan spell at Leicester City, Abdul Fatawu became a fan favourite, contributing significantly to the team’s success. The 22-year-old’s dynamic presence on the wing was highlighted by a memorable hat-trick in a resounding 5-0 victory over Southampton, part of his six-goal tally from 43 appearances. His performances not only helped secure the Championship title but also earned the trust and affection of the Leicester fanbase.

“I feel amazing. It’s so good to be back and I’m just back to focus again for next season,” Fatawu expressed in an interview with the club’s official site. He continued, “I feel so much motivation to be in the Premier League. It’s something new to me. I’m going to go hard for that, with the team. I can’t wait to see [my team-mates]. I’ve missed them so much. They are like a family now. I didn’t think I’d miss some of them, but when I went away, I was really missing them!”
