Black Stars forward Jordan Ayew has completed a permanent move to Leicester City from Crystal Palace. The experienced 32-year-old Ghanaian striker has signed a two-year contract with the Foxes, marking the next chapter in his football career.
Jordan Ayew, with two FIFA World Cups and six Africa Cup of Nations tournaments, leaves Crystal Palace after making 212 appearances, scoring 23 goals, and providing 22 assists. His hard work and dedication earned him a special place in the hearts of Crystal Palace supporters. Ayew initially joined Palace on loan from Swansea City in August 2018 before signing a permanent deal the following summer, quickly becoming an essential player for the club.
In an interview with LCFC.com, Ayew expressed his excitement about his new journey with Leicester City. “I’m thrilled to join Leicester City and proud to be here. The club made a strong effort to bring me on board, and it all happened very quickly. I couldn’t be happier to be part of this team,” he said.
He also shared how the interest from Leicester’s manager motivated him to make the switch. “When a manager shows genuine interest in you, it’s a great motivator to come and play under him, striving to get better. Even at 32, there’s always room for growth as a player. I’m committed to working hard and helping the team reach its goals,” Ayew added.
With this move, Ayew joins fellow Ghanaian talent Abdul Fatawu Issahaku at Leicester City. As the new season approaches, fans will be eager to see how Ayew’s experience and skill contribute to Leicester’s success.
