Leicester City are set to return with an improved bid for Ghanaian forward Jordan Ayew after their initial £4 million offer was rejected by Crystal Palace. The newly-promoted Premier League club is eager to strengthen their attacking options ahead of the upcoming season, identifying Ayew as a key target.
Crystal Palace are reportedly holding out for a fee of around £6 million with additional add-ons, according to sources close to the negotiations. Ayew, who has struggled for playing time under Palace’s new manager Oliver Glasner, featured for only 20 minutes in the team’s opening fixture last weekend.
The 31-year-old forward is considering the move to Leicester City in hopes of securing more regular first-team action. Ayew’s experience and versatility could provide a valuable boost to Leicester’s attacking lineup as they aim to establish themselves in the top flight.
Negotiations between the two clubs are ongoing, with Leicester hopeful that an increased offer will be enough to secure Ayew’s services before the transfer window closes. The potential transfer promises a fresh start for Ayew and could significantly enhance Leicester City’s competitiveness this season.
