Kudus Lauds Issahaku After Stunning Match-Winner for Leicester
Ghana midfielder Mohammed Kudus has lauded his Black Stars teammate Abdul Fatawu Issahaku after the youngster netted a spectacular goal to secure Leicester City a vital 1-0 win over Charlton Athletic on Saturday.
Issahaku, who has been steadily growing in confidence since joining the Foxes, produced a moment of individual brilliance when he curled a sublime effort into the net, handing Leicester all three points and ending their frustrating nine-match winless run away from home.
The strike not only lifted spirits among the squad and their supporters but also underlined the 20-year-old winger’s growing influence in the team.
Reacting to the performance, Kudus took to social media platform X to express his admiration for his compatriot’s resilience and quality.
“Abdul, so proud to see your hard work after a huge setback pay off. Keep on,” the Tottenham Hotspur star wrote, applauding Issahaku’s determination to overcome adversity.
The young winger has battled injuries and periods of inconsistency in recent seasons, but he has never stopped showcasing flashes of the raw talent that first drew attention to his game. Saturday’s wonder strike is being widely viewed as a statement of intent as Issahaku aims to cement a regular place in Leicester’s starting lineup this campaign.
His development is also expected to be closely monitored by Black Stars head coach Otto Addo, with Ghana gearing up for crucial World Cup qualifying fixtures next month.
