According to the latest news from the London Evening Standard, Premier League promoted Leicester City are actively looking to strengthen their squad, especially in the striker position, and they have set their sights on Crystal Palace's Ghana international Jordan Ayew. The 32-year-old experienced striker has been a key member of the squad since his move to Crystal Palace from Swansea in 2019.
With the new season approaching, Leicester City are eager to consolidate their Premier League spot by bringing in power players. Jordan Ayew, with his excellent skills and rich experience in the Premier League, has become their ideal target to strengthen their forward line. According to reports, Leicester City have already made contact with Ayew's side, expressing their strong interest in the veteran.
For Crystal Palace, although Jordan Ayew plays an important role in the team, they are not ruling out the possibility of selling the striker if the right offer comes along. Similarly, the team's midfielder, Schlupp, faces the same situation, and the future of both will be decided by the Crystal Palace management in the coming days.
Jordan Ayew has been a key part of Crystal Palace's tactical system in recent seasons, especially playing well as a winger when the team adopted a 4-2-3-1 formation. However, Ayew's playing time suffered somewhat as new manager Glasner changed the formation to a more compact 3-4-2-1 towards the end of last season. Nonetheless, he still showed good athleticism by contributing four goals and seven assists in the Premier League last season.
Furthermore, Jordan Ayew just signed a contract extension with Crystal Palace last November, binding his future until June 2025. But that doesn't seem to be an obstacle for Leicester City in their pursuit of him, as they are actively looking to enter into talks with Crystal Palace to seal the transfer deal.
