The September prize arrives against a backdrop of mixed form for Fatawu at international level.

During the same period, the winger endured a difficult showing with the Black Stars in the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

He was held responsible for conceding the penalty that contributed to Ghana's 2-0 defeat to Côte d'Ivoire and was below his best in the shock loss to Gambia.
