Leicester City manager Steve Cooper has commended Jordan Ayew’s immediate impact following his move from Crystal Palace, highlighting the forward’s enthusiasm for joining the club. Ayew, who signed a two-year deal with Leicester, made a strong start to his career with The Foxes by scoring and assisting in their 4-0 victory over Tranmere Rovers in the second round of the Carabao Cup.

The veteran Black Stars forward opened his account with a powerful strike from just outside the penalty box in the 38th minute and later provided an assist for Wilfred Ndidi’s goal, helping to secure Leicester’s commanding win. Cooper expressed his satisfaction with Ayew’s performance, noting the significance of his goal in making the team more of a threat during the match.

Speaking after the game, Cooper praised Ayew’s abilities and his determination to succeed at Leicester. “Jordan was keen to come here, and we’re looking forward to involving him more in the Premier League. His goal was crucial in the game, and he had a great impact on his debut,” Cooper stated.

Ayew made his Leicester City debut in Match Week 2, playing 27 minutes off the bench, before marking his first start with a standout performance against Tranmere.
