Ghanaian forward Abdul Fatawu Issahaku claimed Leicester City's Men's Young Player of the Year accolade during the club's awards night on Tuesday night.
The award caps off the youngster's impressive campaign with the Foxes after arriving on loan from Sporting CP in the summer.
The event which was held at the King Power Stadium saw the playing and technical staff of the club at all levels come together to recognise vital contributors to their season.
Issahaku, who has delighted the Leicester fans throughout the season scoring seven goals and providing 13 assists in 42 appearances in all competitions, was announced the Young Player of the Year.
It’s just getting better and better for Abdul Fatawu Issahaku.
He took home Leicester City’s Young Player of the Year award last night.

Issahaku also contributed to 19 goals and assists as Enzo Maresca's side claimed the 2023/24 Championship title, scoring six and setting up 13.
Last month, he became the first Ghanaian to score a hat-trick in the Championship after netting three times against Southampton in the 5-0 at home.
The Foxes will be playing in the Premier League next season following their success in the second tier of English football and the Ghanaian will be hoping his performances this season will secure him a permanent deal at the club.
