Everton join Sunderland and Leeds United in £20m chase for Leicester winger after Instagram hint | OneFootball

Everton have reportedly joined Sunderland and Leeds United in the race for Leicester City winger Abdul Fatawu, valued at £20 million.

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.
