Leicester Cruising On Signing Crystal Palace’s Ayew

Leicester City are cruising on signing Crystal Palace forward Jordan Ayew for an initial £5m.

The Foxes want to bring in at least two offensive players and Ayew, 32, is poised to move to the King Power Stadium in a deal rising to £8m.

EDITOR’S PICKS

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.

He previously played for Aston Villa, joining them in 2015, before moving to Swansea two years later.

Ayew will join Oliver Skipp as a new signing at the King Power Stadium, with the midfielder arriving from Tottenham for £20m on Monday.
