Abdul Fatawu Issahaku is back home in Tamale, and he’s already spreading joy with his presence.
In a heartwarming video shared by 3Sports, the Leicester City winger was captured dancing beautifully at a local gathering in his hometown, dressed proudly in a traditional smock; a true son of the north embracing his roots.
As music filled the air, Issahaku showed off some smooth moves while several women around him sprayed cash on him in admiration and celebration.
It was a moment of cultural pride and communal joy, a brief yet beautiful pause in the life of a footballer who had battled through adversity this season.
The 21-year-old missed the entire second half of the 2024/25 Premier League season after suffering an Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury during Ghana’s AFCON 2025 qualifier against Angola in Luanda. But Issahaku is now on the mend and looking ahead.
Before his injury, Issahaku made a strong impression in the Premier League. He assisted against Tottenham on opening night and was ranked among the league’s top five dribblers before the turn of the year.
However, he will now return to a Leicester side preparing for life in the Championship following relegation.
For now, though, Fatawu is soaking in the love back home, dancing, smiling, and reminding everyone that he’s not just a footballer, but a proud representative of the north.
