Abdul Fatawu’s permanent move to Leicester was finally confirmed today. While the transfer was never in doubt, the official announcement was delayed due to paperwork and clearances.
Last season, Fatawu made a significant impact while on loan from Sporting Lisbon, showing his ability to handle Premier League competition in matches against Bournemouth and Chelsea in the FA Cup.
With Fatawu now a permanent addition and Wilfred Ndidi’s contract also secured, Leicester appears stronger and more resilient for the upcoming season. However, they are still active in the transfer market, hoping to finalize more deals in the coming days.

There is speculation about a move for Argentine attacker Matias Soule, but questions remain about the price, with Juventus asking for €30 million. Additionally, Martin Braithwaite is another potential target for Leicester. After impressing with Espanyol last season, the Danish player is eager to return to the Premier League and could be a versatile asset for Leicester’s attack.
Both players are mentioned by reliable sources, but no deals have been confirmed yet. Leicester will look for other options to fill their attacking positions if moves for Soule and Braithwaite do not materialize.
