Jordan Ayew’s services are being sought by Leicester City, who have made a £4 million offer to Crystal Palace. After a successful campaign in the Championship, Leicester City earned promotion to the Premier League, where they aim to secure their position under Steve Cooper’s guidance.
Despite signing three players already, Leicester City is seeking to bolster their squad with Jordan’s experience for the new season.
Jordan Ayew has extensive experience in England. His journey began at Aston Villa, where he joined from Marseille, before moving to Swansea City. During his two-season stint at Swansea, he became a fan favorite, netting 12 goals in 58 Premier League appearances.
Ayew’s subsequent move to Crystal Palace started with a loan deal, later becoming a permanent transfer. He has since scored 23 goals in 211 games for the Eagles, bringing his total club career goals to 85.

At the national team level, Jordan has represented Ghana 104 times, scoring 28 goals.
Despite some analysts’ criticism, Jordan Ayew’s experience and skills make him a valuable asset and option for Leicester City. Crystal Palace appears to be satisfied with the offered bid, potentially paving the way for Ayew’s departure from Selhurst Park.
Meanwhile, Saudi Pro League clubs are eyeing Ayew amid Leicester City’s interest according to some reports.
Sports Journalist David Alhassan argues that Saudi Arabia would be a more practical destination for Jordan Ayew, given his age and experience, as Leicester City’s ambitions may require a level of speed, athleticism, and power that is becoming increasingly standard in the sport.
“The Saudi move would be much better. He’s way past his prime, he should go for the bag, that should be his motivation,” he said.
He believes the rumored rapport between the player and his former Swansea manager could be the only silver lining in this move.
“Yes it could work out, it’s a good problem,” he added.
