Charlton Athletic manager Nathan Jones has tipped Ghana winger Abdul Fatawu Issahaku for a swift Premier League move before the close of the transfer window, following his spectacular match-winning strike for Leicester City in the Championship.

The 21-year-old produced a moment of brilliance with a stunning 30-yard effort that sealed Leicester’s 1-0 victory, leaving Jones convinced that the Foxes face a battle to keep hold of their star.

“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,” Jones told reporters.

Issahaku played a pivotal role in Leicester’s 2023/24 promotion campaign, dazzling fans with his pace, creativity and eye for goal. However, his debut Premier League season was disrupted by a long-term injury, curtailing what had been tipped as a breakout year.

Without his influence, Leicester struggled and were relegated back to the Championship. Now, as the Foxes push for an immediate return, the talented Ghanaian could yet be lured away by top-flight suitors.

With Jones publicly hailing him as Premier League quality, speculation is intensifying that clubs in England’s top tier may swoop before the transfer window closes.

A move would mark a rapid return to the Premier League stage for Issahaku — a player widely regarded as one of Ghana’s most exciting young prospects.
