Inevitability? The Upcoming Departure of Abdul Fatawu

It seems inevitable that one of the lights in a very dark tunnel at Leicester City, Abdul Fatawu, will move on in the summer, whichever league the Foxes find themselves in. It's entirely inevitable but it was also entirely avoidable, too.

There’s something especially painful about watching a star player that resonates with the fans and one of those is Abdul Fatawu at the Foxes right now, because deep down, it feels like we already know how this story ends.

Not with him lifting us back to where we belong, not with him becoming the face of a new era, but with him being sold.

It's another reminder of what this club has become, a painful reminder of what we once were and we're now trying to remind ourselves that we were once the pride of English football.

Fatawu isn’t just another decent player: he’s the kind of footballer you build around. The kind that gets you off your seat, that makes you believe something might happen even when everything else feels flat.
