Ghana winger Abdul Fatawu Issahaku has bid an emotional farewell to Leicester City after completing a move to newly-promoted Premier League club Ipswich Town, signing a five-year deal with the Suffolk side this summer.
The 23-year-old's departure follows Leicester's relegation to League One, ending a three-year chapter at the King Power Stadium that included both promotion glory and the pain of successive relegations.

Issahaku's Message to the Leicester Faithful
In a heartfelt post addressed to the Leicester City family, Issahaku expressed deep gratitude to everyone connected with the club during his time there.
"This club gave me the opportunity to come to England, prove myself and show what I could do," he wrote. "From the first day, I was welcomed with open arms and made to feel at home. I will always be grateful for the trust, support and belief shown in me."
The Ghana international singled out his teammates, coaching staff and supporters for special mention, crediting those relationships with shaping him as both a footballer and an individual.
"To the incredible supporters, your passion, love and encouragement meant more to me than words can express," he added. "Playing in front of you and celebrating special moments together will remain among my greatest memories."
He signed off with a line that encapsulated his affection for the club: "Once a Fox, always a Fox."
A Mixed Legacy at the King Power Stadium
Across his three seasons with the Foxes, Issahaku made 100 appearances and scored 16 goals. His most significant contribution came when he helped fire Leicester back into the Premier League, only for the club to suffer back-to-back relegations in the seasons that followed.
With Leicester now set to compete in the third tier of English football, Issahaku's move to Ipswich keeps him in the Premier League, where the Tractor Boys have returned following their promotion to the top flight.
