Leicester City Football Club has announced the permanent signing of exciting young Ghanaian winger Abdul Fatawu from Sporting Lisbon for an undisclosed fee.

The 20-year-old Ghana international impressed on loan at King Power Stadium last season, helping City to the Sky Bet Championship title and promotion to the Premier League, and has now signed a five-year contract with the Football Club.

Abdul made 43 appearances for the Foxes in all competitions last season, scoring seven goals, including his first career hat-trick in a 5-0 win against Southampton on Filbert Way. He quickly established himself as a favourite amongst the Blue Army.

The Football Club collaborated with local band and Foxes fans, The Mercians as part of the announcement for Abdul’s signing.

The Coalville-based band performed their own special version of the Blue Army’s famous Fatawu chant, surprising him with a special rendition at King Power Stadium.
