Fatawu joined Sporting in April 2022, after the Portuguese club beat off competition to sign him from Ghanaian outfit Steadfast FC.
In August 2022, he made his senior debut for the Portuguese side against Rio Ave, and he played in their UEFA Champions League campaign weeks after.
He achieved international success in March 2021, when he helped Ghana's Under-20 side win the Africa Under-20 Cup of Nations, for which he was named tournament player.
He was part of the Black Stars squad at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Issahaku was also with the Black Meteors in Morocco for the 2023 U-23 Africa Cup of Nations.
With his arrival at Leicester, he becomes the latest to join the club after Daniel Amartey, Jeffery Schlupp, Kamal Sowah and Nathan Opoku in recent times.
