According to Sunderland Echo, the 22-year-old is expected to attract strong interest this summer after Leicester’s relegation, with several clubs monitoring a possible move.
Fatawu has been among Leicester’s standout performers in a difficult campaign, building on the form that helped win promotion in 2023-24. He delivered nine goals and seven assists in the Championship and ranked highly for dribbles, chances created and touches in the box.
His direct, ball-carrying style appeals to sides seeking pace and creativity out wide. Everton want to strengthen their attack and view him as a possible addition, while Sunderland and Leeds are also tracking him.
There is growing expectation he could leave Leicester this summer. A social media message thanking fans and lamenting the team’s level this season has been read by some as a hint towards a move, though he gave no clear statement of intent. He praised the club as amazing, said the campaign was not good enough, and expressed belief Leicester would return stronger.
