Jordan Ayew, the newest addition to Leicester City, has opened up about his decision to join the club, highlighting the key role that manager Steve Cooper played in convincing him to make the move.
The Black Stars striker signed a two-year contract with the Foxes on Friday, reuniting with Cooper, who was his coach during his time at Swansea City.
Ayew expressed his excitement about working under Cooper again, saying, “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.
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.”
Ayew had a significant impact during his six years at Crystal Palace, but his role became more limited under new manager Oliver Glasner.
This change opened the door for his move to Leicester City, where he now aims to help the team stay in the Premier League.
Leicester City is back in the Premier League this season after winning the Championship, following their relegation at the end of the 2022/23 season.
Ayew’s experience and work ethic will be vital as the Foxes strive to secure their place in the top flight.
With his determination to keep improving and his strong connection with Cooper, Ayew is eager to make his mark at Leicester City and contribute to the club’s success this season.
