Abdul Fatawu To Join Ipswich Town In Permanent Deal

 

We can confirm that an agreement has been reached between Leicester City and Ipswich Town for the sale of Abdul Fatawu for an undisclosed fee, subject to league and international approval.

 

The 22-year-old Ghana international initially joined us on loan from Sporting Lisbon at the start of the 23/24 season, before making the move permanent the following summer after an impressive campaign which saw us lift the Sky Bet Championship.

 

He has made 100 appearances for us in all competitions, scoring a total of 16 goals.

 

We would like to thank Abdul for his efforts over the last three seasons as he departs with the very best wishes of everyone at Leicester City.

Necessary really. We really need to go up or we'll be stuck selling our best every year.

Good money for a bloke who downs tools when it gets difficult. Not confident at all he will doing any good in the premier league. 

[moore_94]

£20m fee with £3m in add ons - and hopefully a decent sell on clause because they will definitely be able to sell him on for a profit

I'd have been gutted about losing him last summer. Now I'm not arsed. 

 

Don't get me wrong, he will do well with discipline and a set up that's basically everything ours wasn't. It's unfair to pin all our hopes on him and JJ like we did. 

 

That being said, he's another one who could not give a flying a **** when shit hit the fan. Maybe in time I'll forgive him more than others because of age, but anyone involved with last season will not be missed.

My sentiments exactly

[Chelmofox]

Bye sweet prince. You gave us magic moments, and it should have been many more.

 

You deserved better than Ipswich, but i bet you enjoy scoring some 98th minute deflected bangers.

 

If they steal our song we should fine them.

Why do we always put undisclosed fee? Buying or selling, men’s or women’s team it’s always undisclosed. 

[Stevosevic]

Not bothered.

 

Not bothered about anyone leaving this summer. Their legacy is back to back relegations.

[Tuna]

Good luck Abdul, it's a terrific coup for Ipswich.

Spot on...how can people care 🤣? Back 2 back relegations! No sentiment for any of em.

My KPFC rant is going to be out in full force, so apologies in advance.

 

The fact that we’ve sold Fatawu to an Ipswich side 2 leagues above us, and our biggest signing so far is their cast off, Chaplin on a free, really boils my piss.

 

I’m not against the Chaplin signing given our circumstances but if you predicted this two years ago, you’d be laughed out of town.

Probably to avoid even more criticism. I don't think this deal is particularly bad but they'd hate for everyone to get a proper picture of the finances based on the deals we have made.

Money keeps the lights on at Seasgrave a bit longer 

[Sol thewall Bamba]

Struggling to care tbh

[dbtcity]

Just hope we’ve put a decent sell on clause in the deal as I feel like he’ll be moving on for a good few quid in the coming seasons

[Jattdogg]

Bye sweet prince. Was never the bad apple IMO. Hope he finds form for his own sake otherwise wasted talent.

 

Likely will get smashed by one of his goals if they get relegated and we get promoted

Where and when did he “down tools”? Just wanted to know as I never got that impression. Wingers do go in and out of form, if he was always good/great he’d have never been with us. 
 

I wish him luck on his new chapter. We move on and so do players. 

[RedSoxUK]

Can't wait for Chaplin to megs him as he scores a brace in the 27/28 championship.

League 1 transfer record already? Massive aren't we.

 

Good luck to him but I don't think he's going to do much over the next few years...we'll look back on this as good buisness I reckon.

Monga broke it, now Fawtawu.

Was only £10m wasn't it?

 

Birmingham signed Stansfield for more than that.

[Corky]

Had some memorable moments, nowhere near the worst culprit for last season but we need as big a refresh as possible.
