Leicester City have made a formal offer to Crystal Palace for Ghanaian forward Jordan Ayew, according to UK media reports.

The move is part of Leicester manager Steve Cooper’s plan to reunite with Ayew, whom he previously managed at Swansea City. At 32, Ayew has one year left on his contract with Crystal Palace, and his future has become uncertain following limited playing time under new manager Oliver Glasner.

Leicester, gearing up for the new Premier League season, sees Ayew as a valuable addition to their attack. Despite competing interest from clubs in Saudi Arabia, Leicester’s bid is making headway.

Ayew, who scored four goals and provided seven assists last season for Crystal Palace, has struggled to exceed five goals in a season since the 2019-20 campaign. However, he remains a key player for the Black Stars, notably scoring a hat-trick against the Central African Republic in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

Leicester City’s interest underscores their strategy to bolster their squad with experienced players as they prepare for their Premier League return.
