Abdul Fatawu Issahaku is attracting growing interest ahead of the summer transfer window, with Coventry City now emerging as the latest club keen on signing the Ghanaian winger from Leicester City, as per multiple reports in England and Ghana.
The 22-year-old is widely expected to depart Leicester following the club’s disappointing relegation to League One, with the Foxes believed to be preparing for major restructuring both on and off the pitch.
Fatawu remains one of Leicester’s most prized assets, and club officials reportedly view his potential sale as an opportunity to generate crucial funds early in the transfer market.
Since arriving from Sporting CP in a deal worth around €17 million, the Ghana international has continued to enhance his reputation as one of Africa’s most exciting attacking talents.
Five clubs Abdul Fatawu Issahaku could join amid summer exit from Leicester City
Although clubs in Turkey have previously been linked with the winger, Coventry are now positioning themselves strongly in the race. Their recent promotion to the Premier League has significantly improved their financial power, giving them confidence that they can move quickly for the attacker.
Despite the fierce history between Coventry and Leicester, the contrasting realities facing both clubs could open the door for negotiations that suit all parties involved.
Coventry are also believed to be hopeful Leicester’s financial situation may allow them to secure the winger for a more favourable fee than initially expected.
Still, the chase for Fatawu is far from straightforward. Everton and Sunderland have also been credited with an interest in the dynamic wide man, setting up what could become one of the more competitive transfer pursuits involving a Ghanaian player this summer.
For Fatawu himself, a switch to Coventry could provide a clearer pathway to consistent first-team football, something viewed as vital at this stage of his development as he continues to establish himself at the highest level.

His current market valuation on Transfermarkt stands at €24 million, underlining the growing demand for his signature across Europe.
