Leicester City, recently promoted back to the English Premier League, have officially approached Crystal Palace with an offer for Ghanaian forward Jordan Ayew, according to a report by MailSport.
The Foxes have tabled a £4 million bid in hopes of securing the services of the Ghana international during the ongoing transfer window. Leicester City believe Ayew would be a valuable addition to their squad as they aim to make a significant impact in the upcoming Premier League season.
Ayew, who played a key role in Crystal Palace’s preseason success, including winning the StateSide Cup in America, is currently facing an uncertain future at the club. With only one year remaining on his contract and limited playing time under new manager Oliver Glasner, his position at Crystal Palace has come into question.
Leicester City’s interest in Ayew signals their intent to bolster their squad with experienced players as they prepare for their return to the top flight.
Since joining Crystal Palace in 2018, initially on loan before making the move permanent a year later, Ayew has been a crucial part of the team. Last season, the 32-year-old contributed four goals and eight assists in 37 appearances. Over his time at Palace, he has accumulated 23 goals and 22 assists across 211 appearances.
In addition to Leicester City’s interest, Ayew has also attracted attention from clubs in the Saudi Pro League, adding further intrigue to his potential move during this transfer window.
