The forward has secured a deal with the Foxes and would be leaving the capital city this season

Leicester City have completed negotiations with Crystal Palace to sign Ghana striker Jordan Ayew in a £8 million.

The 32-year-old, who has scored 23 goals in 211 games for Palace since joining the North London club, will be rejoining his former manager Steve Cooper at Leicester. The duo worked together in 2018 at Swansea before Ayew left Wales for London.

With Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Marc Albrighton, Dennis Praet and Kelechi Iheanacho among those who have left Leicester, the Foxes have successfully secured deals with Oliver Skipp, Abdul Fatawu, Caleb Okoli and Bobby De Cordova Reid and Ayew is expected to be the latest addition.

Ayew played part in Palace’s 2-1 away defeat to Brentford last weekend and that looked like his final game for them.
