Ipswich Town have made Abdul Fatawu their fifth signing ahead of returning to the Premier League, with the winger joining from Leicester City in a deal reportedly worth \u00a320m.<\/p>\n
Fatawu was part of the Leicester team that suffered back-to-back relegations from the Premier League to League One between 2024-25 and 2025-26.<\/p>\n
He joined the Foxes, initially on loan, ahead of their promotion-winning 2023-24 campaign. The Ghana international made 100 appearances for the club in all competitions, scoring 16 goals and supplying 22 assists.<\/p>\n
Fatawu was restricted to just 13 appearances in the Premier League in 2024-25 after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury, though he appeared in all but two of their Championship matches last season, scoring nine goals and seven assists.<\/p>\n
After Fatawu penned a five-year deal at Portman Road, head coach Gary O’Neil told the club’s website: “Abdul is a young player who has already gained good experience in the game and we’re excited to have him with us.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“He has strong physical and technical attributes, is comfortable on the ball and can test the opposition in one-on-one situations, so he will provide us with good options within the squad.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“Having represented his country at the World Cup this summer, I know he is now looking forward to getting to work ahead of the Premier League season.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Fatawu came off the bench in all four of Ghana’s games at the World Cup, playing 129 minutes as the Black Stars progressed\u00a0from Group L before losing to Colombia in the last 32.<\/p>\n
The 22-year-old became Ipswich’s second signing in the space of a few hours on Tuesday, following the arrival of goalkeeper Kayne van Oevelen from Volendam.<\/p>\n
They have also completed deals to bring in Emersonn, Chuba Akpom and Cedric Kipre.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, it has been reported Ipswich have struck a \u00a310m deal\u00a0with Celtic to sign Japan forward Daizen Maeda.<\/p>\n
Ipswich face Sunderland in their Premier League opener on August 22.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
