Crystal Palace: Jordan Ayew undergoing Leicester medical after £8m fee agreed

Crystal Palace striker Jordan Ayew is undergoing a medical with Leicester City.

Ayew has been a target for the Foxes all summer and an £8million fee, including £3m in add-ons, has finally been agreed between the two clubs after a bid earlier in the window was rejected.

Confirmation is understood to be imminent as Leicester look to register Ayew in time to make his debut at Fulham on Saturday.

The 32-year-old has entered the final year of his contract at Palace and the Eagles were happy to cash in.

Ayew has tended to operate in wide positions in the Eagles’ 4-2-3-1 formation in recent seasons, but game time was reduced when new manager Oliver Glasner shifted to a more narrow 3-4-2-1 system towards the end of last season.

Ayew scored four goals and registered seven assists in the Premier League last term, and the versatile forward has tallied 23 goals in 211 appearances throughout his Palace career. He signed a contract extension last November until June 2025.
