Leicester City transfer update: The Foxes are connected with a £4 million move for Crystal Palace attacker Jordan Ayew. Leicester City reportedly bid £4 million for Crystal Palace forward Jordan Ayew, who is poised to leave the Eagles during the summer transfer window. The Daily Mail reports that Palace is now exploring a bid for Ghanaian Ayew, who has been with the club since the summer of 2018. Attacker Ayew, who turns 33 next month, has played almost 200 games for Palace and scored 23 goals, but he might leave Selhurst Park this summer with only one year left on his contract.
Steve Cooper, who obviously wants to add forward options to his squad before the transfer market closes at the end of August, takes charge of the Foxes for the first time on Monday night when they host Tottenham at the King Power Stadium. He previously worked with Jordan’s older brother, Andre, at Nottingham Forest and Swansea City. “We want to add players to the squad, particularly at the top end of the pitch,” Cooper stated earlier this month. “That’s what we’re attempting to accomplish. We were so close to getting a few in this week, but things didn’t quite work out. So let’s go on to the next ones.
“We know where we want to strengthen and develop. We aim to improve team starters and strengthen competition in some areas.The move to the Premier League is a massive one. The guys who have been there before, including myself, need to remind themselves of what is coming. We’re doing our best to prepare the guys who will be going up for the first time. We will be working hard on the pitch. We’ll be working hard off the pitch to get guys in. Hopefully, we’ll continue to improve and progress so that we’re ready for the first game.”
