Ghanaian winger Abdul Fatawu Issahaku is making headlines with reports suggesting that he could be lured away from the Premier League by a lucrative offer from Saudi Arabian giants Al Hilal.
The 19-year-old, who recently played a key role in Leicester City’s promotion back to the top flight, is reportedly being offered an annual salary of €10 million by the ambitious Saudi club.
Tempting Offer from Saudi Arabia
Al Hilal’s interest in Issahaku comes as no surprise, given his promising performances since joining Leicester City.
Despite only recently securing his place in the Premier League, the young winger might find the financial package from Al Hilal hard to resist.
The Saudi club is known for its deep pockets, and their offer presents a significant opportunity for Issahaku, both in terms of career progression and financial gain.
Leicester City’s Dilemma
Leicester City, who signed Issahaku from Sporting Lisbon for €17 million earlier this summer, could be open to selling him if the right offer comes in.
While the club values his potential and the contribution he made with six goals and 13 assists in the Championship, the financial allure of a high-profile sale might be too good to pass up.
Selling Issahaku for a higher fee than his current market value of €10 million could also help the club strengthen other areas of their squad.
Focus on International Duty
As the speculation around his future grows, Issahaku is currently focused on his duties with the Ghanaian national team.
He’s part of the squad preparing for the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Angola and Niger. With his international commitments taking center stage, Issahaku will have some time to consider his next move carefully.
Whether he stays in the Premier League or takes up the offer from Al Hilal, his decision will undoubtedly have a big impact on his young career.
