Ghanaian winger Fatawu Issahaku has been recognized as the second player with the most one-on-ones in the Championship, according to Sky Sports.
Issahaku’s impressive performance on the field, with a total of 399 one-on-ones, places him just below his teammate, Stephy Mavididi, who leads the list with 447. Sunderland’s Jack Clarke ranks third with 372, followed by Hull City’s Jaden Philogene with 324. Leeds United’s Dan James rounds out the top five with 209 one-on-ones.
Issahaku’s skillful play and ability to take on opponents in one-on-one situations significantly contributed to his team’s success. His impact was further demonstrated by an impressive tally of six goals from the wing, including a standout hat-trick in Leicester’s dominant 5-0 victory over Southampton.
Beyond scoring, Issahaku’s creative flair resulted in an astonishing 13 assists throughout the season, cementing his status as one of Leicester’s key playmakers.
The 20-year-old made his club debut in the Championship just three days after signing, coming on as a 54th-minute substitute in a 1–0 home loss to Hull City. He quickly established himself as a key player for the Foxes, scoring his first goal for the club in a 3–1 away win against Swansea City on October 21, 2023.
Leicester City remains engaged in negotiations with Sporting Lisbon regarding a potential permanent transfer.
