adminRecent reports suggest that Bilal El Khannouss has completed a permanent move to Stuttgart and his exit may only be the beginning.
Leicester could now be bracing for another major departure, with fan favourite attracting growing interest from multiple clubs.
Everton have been tracking the winger for some time, and the Toffees are emerging as a strong contender for his signature.
Interest on the player is far from limited. Atletico Madrid, Al-Hilal, Sunderland, Napoli, and Bournemouth have all been linked with the player across the last two transfer windows, while Leeds United are also believed to be monitoring his situation closely.
The player in question Abdul Fatawu, prioritise consistent playing time. The Ghana international is keen to secure a move where he can feature regularly and continue his development.
In terms of valuation, Leicester are expected to demand a fee similar to what they received for El Khannouss, around €20 million. However, with several clubs potentially entering the race, that figure could rise to €25 million (£21.5m) or even higher.
As things stand, a summer exit for Fatawu is becoming increasingly likely. This remains the case regardless of whether Leicester avoid relegation and compete in the EFL Championship next season.
The winger is currently away on international duty with Ghana, preparing for upcoming friendlies against Austria and Germany a stage that could further boost his growing reputation.
So why does Everton stand out? Much of it comes down to squad dynamics. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is already settled and performing well, while Jack Grealish is not expected to feature for the club again this season.
A permanent move or another loan spell at Hill Dickinson Stadium also appears unlikely, potentially leaving a gap for Fatawu to step into.
By contrast, moves to Leeds or Bournemouth appear less convincing at this stage. Both sides may prioritise strengthening other areas, particularly if Leeds secure Premier League survival and shift focus towards reinforcing central positions.
A move abroad remains a possibility, but for now, destinations like Atletico Madrid, Napoli, or Al-Hilal seem less likely.
