Charlton Athletic manager Nathan Jones believes Ghana star Abdul Fatawu Issahaku could seal a Premier League move before the transfer window shuts, following his stunning long-range winner for Leicester City in the Championship.
Issahaku’s 30-yard strike was the difference in Leicester’s 1-0 victory, prompting Jones to hail the winger as a player destined for the top.
“He’ll end up in the Premier League in a week’s time. That was the only difference. It took a one-in-a-million strike to win the game for them,” the Charlton boss said after the match.
The 21-year-old was a key figure in Leicester’s 2023/24 campaign, delivering a string of electrifying performances that helped the Foxes clinch promotion back to the Premier League.
However, his debut top-flight season was hampered by a long-term injury, cutting short what many believed could have been a breakout year at the highest level.
Without his influence for much of the season, Leicester struggled and eventually dropped back into the Championship. Now pushing for another return to the top flight, the Foxes may face a new battle – keeping hold of their prized winger.
With Jones publicly backing Issahaku as Premier League quality, speculation is mounting that clubs in England’s top tier could swoop before the window closes.
If a deal materialises, it would mark a swift return to the Premier League stage for the young Ghanaian whose talent continues to draw widespread admiration.
