Leicester City, back in the Premier League after a season in the Championship, are targeting Crystal Palace’s Jordan Ayew to strengthen their squad. The Ghanaian forward, who has been a steady performer at Selhurst Park since joining from Swansea in 2019, is now a key target for the Foxes.
According to the Evening Standard, the foxes have made a formal approach, and the Palace are considering his sale. The forward, who has been affected by Palace’s shift to a more narrow 3-4-2-1 system under new manager Oliver Glasner, saw reduced game time towards the end of last season.
Despite this, Ayew scored four goals and provided seven assists in the Premier League last term, showing his value to the team.
Palace could be open to letting Ayew go if the offer is right, especially as they could benefit from a £3.2 million windfall from Jake O’Brien’s recent transfer to Everton. The club is also reviewing the future of squad player Jeffrey Schlupp, indicating they might consider offers for other players as well.
With both Ayew and Schlupp currently on Palace’s pre-season tour in the United States, their futures remain uncertain. For Leicester City, signing Ayew would be an exciting move, bringing in a player with proven Premier League experience and versatility.
how Ayew could fit into their squad, potentially partnering with Jamie Vardy and Kelechi Iheanacho in a dynamic attacking setup.
