Jordan Ayew would be a perfect signing for Leicester City
Ayew, who has been described as 'incredible' by Pep Guardiola, has been at Palace since 2019, when he joined from Swansea City.
He’s also represented the likes of Aston Villa, FC Lorient and Marseille throughout his career, although City will face competition for his signature, as he is reportedly has interest from Saudi Arabian clubs.
City could make a further addition as they consider a shock move for Palace forward Ayew. The Ghanaian has only 12 months left on his deal at Selhurst Park and could depart the club this summer.
