Leicester are set to sign Crystal Palace striker Jordan Ayew for an initial fee of £5million.

The Foxes are looking to bring in at least two attackers and 32-year-old Ayew is set to move to the King Power Stadium in a deal worth up to £8million.

Promoted Leicester struggled for attacking options in Monday’s 1-1 Premier League draw with Tottenham, with Jamie Vardy starting – and scoring the equaliser – despite manager Steve Cooper ruling him out through injury three days earlier.

Cooper, who takes Leicester to Fulham on Saturday, has made no secret of his desire to add more attackers to his squad and Ayew offers vital Premier League experience.

He has made 212 appearances for Palace, scoring 23 goals, since joining on loan from Swansea in 2018. Ayew came on as a second-half substitute in Palace’s 2-1 defeat at Brentford on Sunday.

He previously played for Aston Villa, who he joined in 2015, before moving to Swansea two years later.

Ayew will join Oliver Skipp as the new signing at the King Power Stadium. The midfielder will join Tottenham on Monday for £20m.
