Leicester seal Fatawu deal as winger returns to the Foxes

Leicester City have completed the signing of Ghana international Abdul Fatawu from Sporting Lisbon.

The winger helped the Foxes win the Championship title last season while on loan from the Jose Alvalade Stadium.

The Foxes have now triggered their option to buy the 22-year-old and he joins for an undisclosed fee.

Speaking to the club's official site Fatawu said: “I feel amazing. It’s so good to be back and I’m just back to focus again for next season.

"I feel so much motivation to be in the Premier League. It’s something new to me.

"I’m going to go hard for that, with the team. I can’t wait to see [my team-mates]. I’ve missed them so much.

"They are like a family now. I didn’t think I’d miss some of them, but when I went away, I was really missing them!"

Fatawu made 43 appearances last season, scoring six goals - including a hat-trick in the 5-0 win over Southampton.

He is the fourth summer signing for the Foxes under boss Steve Cooper, following Bobby De Cordova-Reid, Michael Golding and Caleb Okoli.
