Ghana international Jordan Ayew has showered praise on compatriot Abdul Fatawu Issahaku following the winger’s stunning performance in Leicester City’s 3–1 home victory over Ipswich Town in the English Championship.
Ayew commended Issahaku’s confidence, determination, and natural attacking flair, stressing that the young winger’s willingness to trust his instincts sets him apart.
Speaking after the match, the experienced forward highlighted Issahaku’s strong mentality and fearless approach to the game, noting that he consistently attempts bold plays even when they do not immediately come off.
“Today, he was rewarded, and credit to him for continuing to try,” Ayew said.
“He’s a top player who plays on instinct and scoring a goal like that is special. I’m really happy for him.”
Ayew’s remarks reflect the high esteem in which Issahaku is held at Leicester City, where his creativity and fearlessness have made him an influential figure in the squad this season.
The praise followed an unforgettable moment in the clash against Ipswich Town, where Issahaku scored what many are already describing as a Goal of the Season contender, and even a potential Puskás Award nominee.
Spotting the Ipswich goalkeeper off his line, the Ghanaian winger showed remarkable awareness and composure, unleashing a spectacular strike from the halfway line that soared into the net, sending the King Power Stadium crowd into raptures and capturing attention across the Championship and beyond.
