Promoted Leicester struggled for attacking options in Monday’s 1-1 Premier League draw with Tottenham, with Jamie Vardy starting – and scoring the equaliser – despite boss Steve Cooper ruling him out through injury just three days before.
Cooper, who takes Leicester to Fulham on Saturday, has made no secret of his desire to add more forward options to his squad and Ayew offers crucial Premier League experience.
He has made 212 appearances for Palace, scoring 23 goals, since initially joining on loan from Swansea in 2018. Ayew was a second-half substitute in Palace’s 2-1 defeat at Brentford on Sunday.
