Ghana winger Abdul Fatawu Issahaku has made a notable impact in the Premier League, ranking joint-second for tackles won after the first three games of the season.
The 20-year-old has enjoyed a stellar debut season with Leicester City, recording 14 tackles across the Foxes’ initial fixtures. This impressive tally is only matched by Fulham’s left-back, Antonee Robinson.
Issahaku’s performance underscores his dedication to team play, prioritizing defensive contributions over personal achievements. He stands out as the only attacker among the top tacklers, with Nottingham Forest’s Ibrahim Sangare, Crystal Palace’s Daniel Munoz, and Tottenham’s Cristian Romero also tied for second place with nine tackles each.
Central midfielders Sean Longstaff and Kobbie Mainoo follow closely, each with eight tackles.
Issahaku will be eager to maintain his form as Leicester City returns from the international break. The winger started for the Black Stars in their recent 1-0 defeat to Angola and the 1-1 draw against Niger.
