While Gyan enjoyed a memorable yet brief stint in England, achieving cult hero status at Sunderland with ten goals in 34 Premier League appearances, Issahaku, currently on loan from Sporting Lisbon, has emerged as Leicester’s standout performer, tallying 18 goal contributions this season.

Tuesday’s hat-trick extended Issahaku’s goal tally to six in the Championship, accompanied by an impressive 12 assists to his name.

With Leicester City retaining the option to secure his services permanently at the end of the season, Issahaku’s remarkable form has sparked anticipation of a bright future in English football, endorsed by none other than Ghanaian legend Asamoah Gyan.
