In his inaugural Premier League match on Monday night, Issahaku demonstrated his skills by assisting Jamie Vardy's goal, which played a crucial role in securing a valuable point for Leicester City in their encounter with Tottenham Hotspur.
"It was an incredible experience, and I am thrilled to have earned a point from the match. It feels like a dream come true for me," he remarked to the club’s media.
"There is a noticeable difference in the Premier League; it is more intense and requires more running. One must continuously adapt to the pace of the team. While there are distinctions, we remain committed to progressing."
Leicester City is now gearing up for their next fixture against Fulham at Craven Cottage, where Issahaku hopes to further enhance his Premier League experience.
