Leicester City have completed the signing of Ghana international Abdul Fatawu from Sporting Lisbon.

The winger helped the Foxes win the Championship title last season while on loan from the Jose Alvalade Stadium.

The Foxes have now triggered their option to buy the 22-year-old and he joins for an undisclosed fee.

Speaking to the club's official site Fatawu said: 鈥淚 feel amazing. It鈥檚 so good to be back and I鈥檓 just back to focus again for next season.

"I feel so much motivation to be in the Premier League. It鈥檚 something new to me.

"I鈥檓 going to go hard for that, with the team. I can鈥檛 wait to see [my team-mates]. I鈥檝e missed them so much.

"They are like a family now. I didn鈥檛 think I鈥檇 miss some of them, but when I went away, I was really missing them!"

Fatawu made 43 appearances last season, scoring six goals - including a hat-trick in the 5-0 win over Southampton.

He is the fourth summer signing for the Foxes under boss Steve Cooper, following Bobby De Cordova-Reid, Michael Golding and Caleb Okoli.
