Everton are being linked with a summer move for Leicester City right winger Abdul Fatawu, whose future at the King Power Stadium is uncertain amid suggestions he could become a free agent.
The 22-year-old Ghanaian, valued at €24.00m on Transfermarkt, is the subject of fresh speculation over a switch from the Championship side to Goodison Park, with the reported probability of a deal currently listed as “?”. His contract details at Leicester are not publicly disclosed, fuelling talk that his current deal may be running down and raising the prospect of a potential free-agent scenario if no extension is agreed.
Fatawu, who wears the No 7 shirt for Leicester and operates primarily as an attacking right winger cutting in from the left foot, has emerged as one of the club’s brightest young talents. Born in Tamale on 8 March 2004 and standing at 1.77m, he has developed a reputation for direct running and creativity from wide areas.
This latest link to Everton comes on the back of his performances in the English second tier, where he has been part of Leicester’s push from the Championship back towards the Premier League. In his most recent outing, a league fixture for Leicester prior to this rumour being logged on 19 May 2026, he featured on the right flank in a match that underlined his growing influence, even though detailed goal and assist numbers for that game are not provided in the available data.
Fatawu’s rise has also been tracked by observers in Ghana, with the winger representing his country internationally and using his exposure in England to enhance his profile. His social media presence, including active Twitter and Instagram accounts, has added to his growing status as one of Ghana’s most promising exports.
With Everton looking to refresh their wide options and Fatawu’s market value reflecting his potential, any move – whether via transfer fee or, if his contract has expired, as a free agent – would represent a significant step, one that could shape the next phase of his career and determine whether he establishes himself as a long-term Premier League performer.
