Ayew praises Fatawu's progress

Earlier, Yen.com.gh reported that Ghana striker Jordan Ayew has hailed the progress of teammate Abdul Fatawu Issahaku at Leicester City.

Issahaku earned a big move to Europe to join Portuguese giants Sporting Lisbon in 2022, but his career had a slow start in the Primeira Liga.

He was sent on loan to Leicester City last season where he rediscovered his form, helping the Foxes secure qualification back to the Premier League after winning the Championship.
