The youngster played a key role in setting up Mavididi for Leicester’s opening goal in the 10th minute through a blistering counter-attack. Celebrating the goal, Issahaku and Mavididi paid homage to Kudus by mimicking his now-famous celebration, running to the advertising hoardings to take a seat.
Issahaku, who is on loan from Sporting Lisbon, has been making a positive impact in England, earning a spot in Leicester City’s starting lineup. His contributions include two goals and five assists in the Championship.
Meanwhile, Kudus, the West Ham United star, recently shed light on his celebration, clarifying that it holds no particular meaning. Contrary to speculations, he stated, “This doesn’t mean anything. I’m just taking a deep breath; it means nothing to me. I just sit down to take a deep breath.”
As Kudus’ celebration continues to gain attention and influence teammates, Leicester City fans eagerly anticipate more iconic moments in their Championship campaign.
Issahaku on the other hand will be hoping to make the final Black Stars squad for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations which kicks off next month.
