# Everton: Blues eyeing up Fatawu Issahaku move

**[Everton](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/everton-fc-news/) are interested in making a move for exciting Sporting Lisbon youngster Fatawu Issahaku, according to a new transfer rumour from Portugal.**

### The Lowdown: Issahaku a top prospect

The 18-year-old has emerged as a talented prospect at the Estadio Jose Alvalade, making [three Primeira Liga appearances](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/430985/Show/Issahaku-Fatawu) this season, along with playing [twice](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/430985/Show/Issahaku-Fatawu) in the Champions League.

Everton’s Merseyside rivals Liverpool have also been [linked](https://www.thisisanfield.com/2021/06/liverpool-transfer-story-cleared-up-after-claims-of-1-5m-deal-for-17-year-old/) with a move for Issahaku in the recent past as interest emerges from across Europe.

It now looks as though the Toffees could be in the mix to snap up the teenager, who already has [13 caps](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/issahaku-fatawu/profil/spieler/864121) to his name for Ghana and could be named in their [World Cup squad](https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ghana-2022-world-cup-squad/blt4a00553aed24c5f8#csc0ef3dd07d594a38).

### The Latest: Everton keen on Issahaku

According to Portuguese outlet [O Jogo](https://www.ojogo.pt/futebol/1a-liga/sporting/noticias/sporting-mais-um-clube-da-premier-league-atento-a-fatawu-15329125.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter) \[via [Sport Witness](https://sportwitness.co.uk/everton-joined-list-clubs-chasing-player-toffees-process-detecting-business-opportunities/)\], Everton had a representative present to Issahaku in action for Sporting against Tottenham in the Champions League a fortnight ago.

The Toffees are eyeing up the winger as ‘part of the process of detecting business opportunities’ and they have ‘joined the list’ of British clubs’ watching him. Manchester United and Liverpool are both mentioned as well.

### The Verdict: One for the future

Issahaku may not be viewed as an immediate starter by Frank Lampard if Everton sign him, but he is a huge talent with a potentially big future ahead of him.

To already be so established at international level as an 18-year-old is a testament to his quality, and he has been hailed as a ‘[great talent](https://footballghana.com/sporting-coach-amorim-praises-youngster-fatawu-issahaku)‘ by Sporting manager Ruben Amorim.

Issahaku’s current Sporting deal doesn’t expire until the [summer of 2026](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/issahaku-fatawu/profil/spieler/864121), though, so Everton may not be able to get him on the cheap, while beating higher-placed [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) clubs to his signature could also be tough for the Toffees.
