I don't have to play every game before I see myself as an important player for the team - Jordan Ayew

Leicester City forward Jordan Ayew has made it clear that his focus is on helping the team, whether he starts or comes off the bench.

The Ghanaian striker, who recently joined the Foxes from Crystal Palace for £8 million, has already begun making an impact at his new club.

Ayew was brought on as a substitute in Leicester’s Premier League defeat to Fulham last Saturday. However, he made his first start for the Foxes in their EFL Cup clash against Tranmere Rovers, where he scored and provided an assist in a dominant 4-0 victory.

Despite his strong performance, the 32-year-old remains grounded. “I’m really looking forward to being involved, but like I said, I stay humble,” Ayew stated.

“I’m here for the team, I’m here for the manager, and obviously, if I have my start, fine. If I don’t, it’s okay, but the most important thing for me is for us to win on Saturday because we need the points.”

As Leicester prepares to face Aston Villa this weekend, Ayew’s attitude reflects his commitment to the team’s success, regardless of his position in the squad.

His humility and focus on the bigger picture are sure to resonate with fans as he continues to prove his worth at the King Power Stadium.

Meanwhile, Ayew is expected to be included in the Black Stars squad for the upcoming 2025 AFCON qualifiers against Angola and Niger, adding another layer of excitement for the forward in the coming weeks.
