Leicester City Football Club is pleased to announce the signing of experienced striker Jordan Ayew from Crystal Palace on a two-year-deal, subject to FA and Premier League approval.
 

The 32-year-old Ghana international, who has represented his country at two FIFA World Cups and six Africa Cup of Nations, has made 212 appearances for the Eagles in all competitions.

 

Speaking to LCFC.com he said: “I’m very happy to be here and I’m proud. I want to thank the Club as they fought hard to bring me here – it happened quickly and I’m so happy to be here.

 

“As a player, when you hear that the manager wants you, it just makes you want to come and work under him and to try to improve. Even though I’m 32, as a player you always want to learn and improve. I’m here to work hard and help the team achieve their targets.”

 

Born in Marseille, Ayew began his professional career with the Ligue 1 outfit, scoring on his debut in a 2-1 win against FC Lorient. He went on to make 111 league appearances for The Olympians, finding the net on 14 occasions.

 

Short spells with fellow Ligue 1 clubs FC Sochaux and FC Lorient followed, before he signed for Aston Villa in 2015, finishing the 2015/16 season as their top goalscorer.

 

Ayew made the switch to Swansea City in January 2017 and went on to make 50 appearances for the Welsh side in all competitions, scoring eight goals.

 

A loan spell at Crystal Palace followed in 2018/19, before he made the move permanent, signing on a three-year deal at the end of that campaign. In 2019/20, he won Player of the Season, Players’ Player of the Season and Goal of the Season at the club’s end of season awards and leaves having scored a total of 23 goals for the Eagles.

 

He made his senior debut for Ghana in 2010 and has since made over 100 caps for his country, featuring for them in two FIFA World Cups in 2014 and 2022, as well as six Africa Cup of Nations, helping them to finish runners-up in 2015.

 

He will now link up with his Leicester City team-mates ahead of their Premier League trip to Craven Cottage to take on Fulham on Saturday 24 August (3pm kick-off).

2 year deal is decent

2 year contract, fair enough. He'll do a job.

Scenes when he scores the winning goal in the dying minutes of the final game to keep us up and relegate Everton. 

[moore_94]

Agent must be shite to only get 2 years out of us!

[urban.spaceman]

WTF this came out of nowhere

[CrispinLA in Texas]

What's the fee🤷

[Sol thewall Bamba]

Two year deal is at least a crumb of comfort.

Guaranteed to score against Palace too. 
 

Just need to sign at least one player from all of our other relegation rivals now (Fulham and Saints already taken care of).

Too late for tomorrow?

Yeah at least he will only spend one year sat in the stand.

[ealingfox]

Great signing, proven goalscorer, just what we need, really improves the team

 

 

[dmayne7]

2 year deal but an option of a 3rd, which Ayew can choose to activate 

[fox_favourite]

So is Nixon now tier 1? 

[whetstonefox]

I just hope we give the guy a chance. Obviously it would not be good if we then don’t sign any other striker but for the player himself we appear to be getting an experienced premier league player , hard working, and probably a good influence in the dressing room. Let’s hope it works out.
