Ghana forward Jordan Ayew has lauded Fatawu Issahaku's impressive journey to the Premier League, highlighting the young winger's perseverance and determination.Since arriving in Europe in 2022, Issahaku, now 20, has progressed from playing for Sporting CP's B team to becoming a key player in Leicester City's return to the top flight.He was instrumental in the club's promotion campaign, scoring six goals and providing 13 assists, earning him the Young Player of the Season award."It's really great, actually.

I met Abdul for the first time at the national training camp with Ghana around six years ago," Ayew, who joined Leicester this summer, told Showmax. "This just shows that the boy has done a really good job and has worked hard to get to where he is today.

All credit goes to him."Ayew also reflected on his role at Leicester, speaking about the support he provides to his younger teammate."I am now here at Leicester City not only to continue my football journey but also to ensure that Abdul is in a good place, because I know it isn't easy for young players.

I was very lucky because I had my brother and a few other senior players who were always advising me," Ayew said."Now that I am here and have been in the position to know how it is, I can guide him, but I can also be hard on him when necessary.
