"What a day!" he said, as quoted by the club's official website. "It feels so amazing. This is so special. I can’t explain how I’m feeling right now, it’s so amazing. I’m so happy. I love to make the supporters happy because they are here for us. I just try to dance to make it more fun!

"As I always say, it’s a special thing for me. I can’t forget this day. This is something special for me in my career. We thank God for everything."

Issahaku moved to Europe at the age of 17 to join Sporting Lisbon but his struggles to break into the first team saw him make a move to England last summer, as reported by The Athletic.

The 20-year-old has been rewarded with a fresh contract after playing a pivotal role in helping the Foxes win the English Championship and make a quick return to the English topflight.

Issahaku hints at Iheanacho's departure

Sports Brief also reported that Kelechi Iheanacho could leave Leicester City at the end of the season with his contract set to expire on June 30, 2024.
