Leicester City manager Steve Cooper had high praise for Ghanaian striker Jordan Ayew after a dominant 4-0 victory over Tranmere in the EFL Cup on Tuesday night. Ayew played a key role in the Foxes’ win, scoring a crucial goal that helped the team advance to the next round.
Reflecting on Ayew’s performance, Cooper emphasized the significance of the goal. “It (Ayew’s goal) was really important in the game because we needed attacking players to do something to make a difference. He did that. He had a good impact in the game, scored, got the right amount of minutes, and that’s something we would have written if we could have planned it,” Cooper remarked in a post-match interview.
Cooper also highlighted Ayew’s experience and his eagerness to succeed with Leicester City. “He’s obviously an experienced player and he’ll be determined to do well for us now in the Premier League. He was so keen to come here, and we look forward to involving him, and we’re going to need him alongside everyone else as well,” the manager added.
Ayew’s goal was not just a standout moment in the match but also a promising start to his time at Leicester City. With his first goal under his belt, Ayew will be looking to add more in the upcoming fixtures.
The Black Stars forward’s contribution has set a positive tone for what fans and the team hope will be a successful season ahead.
