Jordan Ayew is set to join Leicester City after the Foxes agreed a fee with Crystal Palace.

The two clubs have struck a deal worth an initial £5 million plus £3 million in add-ons for the 32-year-old Ghana international, who started 30 Premier League matches for Palace last season.

He scored 23 goals across 211 appearances for the south London club.


Jordan is set to undergo a medical and if all goes as planned will become the newly-promoted club’s seventh signing of the summer.

Leicester have signed Abdul Fatawu another Ghanaian International, Oliver Skipp, Caleb Okoli, and Bobby De Cordova Reid while Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Marc Albrighton, Dennis Praet and Kelechi Iheanacho were among those to depart.


Ayew initially joined Palace from Swansea City on a loan deal in the summer of 2018 before making the move permanent the following year.

He began his career at Ligue 1 club Marseille before scoring 13 goals for Lorient in the 2014-15 season, preceding a move to Aston Villa.

Ayew spent a season-and-a-half at Villa before joining his elder brother Andre at Swansea.
