Spanish La Liga side Villarreal CF have entered the race to sign Ghanaian forward Abdul Fatawu Issahaku.
The 20-year-old has been a standout performer for Leicester City in the Championship this season, scoring five goals and providing seven assists in 26 appearances for the former Premier League champions.
Sunderland and AFC Bournemouth have already shown interest in the former Sporting CP winger, with Villarreal now joining the list of clubs monitoring his situation.
Villarreal believe the young attacker fits their recruitment profile perfectly, offering pace, technical ability and a constant threat down the flanks—qualities they are keen to add to their attacking options.
Reports indicate the Spanish club are prepared to pay around €30 million to secure Fatawu’s services, with the player currently under contract at Leicester City until 2029. Sunderland are also said to be willing to match that valuation.
While the proposed fee would represent a significant sum for a Championship side, it aligns with Leicester’s stated ambition to retain or sell only at the right price.
Meanwhile, Fatawu is expected to be named in Ghana’s Black Stars squad for the international friendly against Germany in March.
