Leicester City has secured their spot in the Premier League for the upcoming season and is now on the verge of finalizing their first summer signing.

Abdul Fatawu is all set to make a permanent switch to Leicester City following their promotion back to the elite league. The Ghanaian international initially signed for the Foxes last summer, with a loan agreement stipulating a mandatory fee of €17 million in case of promotion, as reported by O Jogo via SportWitness.

Leicester is now poised to fulfill their end of the bargain and pay €17 million to Sporting CP for the talented winger.

At just 20 years old, Fatawu has been a standout performer for Leicester City this season, boasting an impressive tally of seven goals and 12 assists across all competitions. His speed, skill, and knack for scoring goals make him a potent force in the attacking third. It remains to be seen how he will adapt to the rigors of the Premier League.

Fatawu’s arrival promises to significantly bolster Leicester City’s squad. The young talent shows immense promise and is eager to make his mark in one of the most competitive leagues in the world. Leicester will be counting on him to carry on his stellar form into the upcoming season.

With his age and room for development, Fatawu is poised to evolve further under the tutelage of the coaching staff. The investment in him could pay off handsomely in the years to come.

On the financial front, Sporting CP is obligated to share 50% of the transfer fee with Steadfast, thanks to a sell-on clause in Fatawu’s contract from his time in Portugal.

Leicester’s successful campaign in the Championship underscores their ambition to solidify their status as a mainstay in the Premier League. The coming season will be a crucial litmus test for their capabilities at the highest level of English football. It will be intriguing to see if they can replicate their success and compete at a high level next season.
