Young Ghanaian talent Abdul Fatawu Isshaku netted a commanding goal, notching his second for Leicester City in a draw on the away turf against Sheffield Wednesday.
The 19-year-old forward initiated the scoring for the Foxes at Hillsborough, yet Sheffield Wednesday managed a late goal, thwarting the visitors’ chances of victory.
Isshaku, currently on loan from Sporting Lisbon, lasted an hour on the field before being substituted by Kasey McAtee.
In a video that has gained widespread attention on social media, Issahaku showcased exceptional skill by skillfully controlling a cross from Steven Mavididi and powerfully slotting it past Sheffield Wednesday’s Cameron Dawson.
Despite Jeff Hendrick’s late equalizer, the former Premier League champions maintain their position at the top of the English Championship table as they strive for an early return to the topflight.
Meanwhile, Issahaku has tallied two goals and an assist in 14 matches for Leicester City.
Based on his displays for the English club, there’s potential for him to secure a permanent contract by the season’s conclusion.
Leicester City faces the risk of losing the winger during the upcoming January transfer window due to the imminent start of the Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast in two months.
Ghana finds itself placed in Group B for the competition in January, alongside seven-time champions Egypt, Cape Verde, and Mozambique.
