Leicester City winger, Abdul Fatawu Issahaku, left spectators awestruck on Tuesday night, etching his name in the annals of football history as the first Ghanaian player to score a hat-trick in the EFL Championship.
The young winger’s dazzling performance stole the spotlight as Leicester dominated Southampton in a spectacular 5-0 victory at the King Power Stadium, inching closer to promotion from the Sky Bet Championship.
Issahaku, currently on loan from Sporting Lisbon, has been a standout performer throughout the season, showcasing his prowess with a total of 6 goals and 12 assists in the Championship, solidifying his position as a pivotal player for the Foxes.
The 20-year-old’s hat-trick, a maiden achievement in his professional career, served as a testament to his skill and versatility, as he proved to be a dynamic force on the right flank throughout the match.
Each goal, including a meticulously executed curling shot in the first half, sealed a night to remember for both Issahaku and his team.
While notable Ghanaian players like Christian Atsu and Albert Adomah have left their mark on the Championship, it is Issahaku who has now firmly etched his name in the record books.
In the wake of his stellar performance, Leicester City is reportedly keen on securing Abdul Fatawu Issahaku’s services permanently.
