Abdul Fatawu has according to close sources agreed personal terms with Abdul Fatawu. Fatawu (22) is back from the World Cup after being in action with Ghana. A tournament where he mostly came off the bench to help his nation in the tournament.
No surprise to see Abdul on the way out, he has been linked with a move, since the end of the season. The major issue in the saga is the transfer fee to be paid, Leicester of course wanting as much as possible.
Ipswich and West Ham are two clubs being mentioned as close contenders for his signature, but none of them accordingly managed to place a bid in the region of what Leicester were hoping for.
We believe that a fee around £15million with add ons and sell on fees could see him gone. The move will be one we have waited for and good the see this going through.
Understand Leicester have rejected Ipswich’s first offer for Abdul Fatawu, but the two clubs remain in talks over a potential deal. #LCFC #itfc pic.twitter.com/4niyAn1fd1

Abdul Fatawu could be followed by more exits. Hamza Choudhury (Birmingham, Sheff Utd), Oliver Skipp (Middlesbrough, Norwich), Harry Souttar (Sheff Utd, Stoke, Wrexham) and Wout Faes (Besiktas) could all be gone before Leicester travel to Spain for the rest of their pre-season.
John Souttar might join from Rangers, taking the place of his brother Harry, who has become a valuable asset after performing well in the World Cup with Australia.
