In a significant move within the Premier League, Ghanaian striker Jordan Ayew has completed his transfer from Crystal Palace to Leicester City. The 32-year-old forward has signed a two-year deal with the Foxes, with the transfer fee reported to be around £8 million, including add-ons.

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,” Ayew said in an interview.

Leicester City’s head coach, Steve Cooper, played a pivotal role in convincing Ayew to make the switch. “He just explained to me how he wants to use me and as a player you don’t really demand much. But when you hear that the manager wants you, you just want to work under him and improve as well,” Ayew added.

The Ghanaian international, who has represented his country in two FIFA World Cups and six Africa Cup of Nations tournaments, will now join his new teammates at Leicester City ahead of their upcoming match against Fulham.

This transfer marks a new beginning for Ayew, who is eager to make an impact at the King Power Stadium and help Leicester City achieve their goals for the season
