New signing for Leicester City In his explanation of his choice to join the team, Jordan Ayew highlighted the significant influence manager Steve Cooper had in landing him.
The Black Stars forward rejoined Cooper, with whom he had previously played at Swansea City, after completing his transfer from Crystal Palace on Friday.
“As a player, when you hear that the manager wants you, it just makes you want to come and work under him and to try to improve,” Ayew explained after signing a two-year contract. “Even though I’m 32, as a player you always want to learn and improve. I’m here to work hard and help the team achieve their targets.”
During his six years with the Eagles, Ayew was a key player for Crystal Palace; however, his diminished position under new manager Oliver Glasner made room for him to transfer to Leicester. His current goal is to help the Foxes stay in the Premier League.
After being relegated at the conclusion of the 2022–2023 season, Leicester City won the Championship and made their way back to the Premier League this season.
