"I feel amazing," Fatawu told the club's website. "It’s so good to be back and I’m just back to focus again for next season. I feel so much motivation to be in the Premier League. It’s something new to me. I’m going to go hard for that, with the team.

"I can’t wait to see [my team-mates]. I’ve missed them so much. They are like a family now. I didn’t think I’d miss some of them, but when I went away, I was really missing them! I can’t wait to see them.”

The youngster has already earned 19 senior caps for Ghana, and is considered one of the country's brightest prospects.
