Leicester City have agreed a deal to sign Crystal Palace forward Jordan Ayew.

The South London Press understands the Foxes are set to pay a £8million fee to sign the 32-year-old.

Ayew has made 212 appearances for the Eagles, scoring 23 times and picking up 22 assists in all competitions.

 

The Ghanaian international joined initially on loan in August 2018 and made the move permanent in July 2019.

Ayew started on the bench in the 2-1 defeat at Brentford on Sunday, coming on for the final 20 minutes to replace Daichi Kamada.

I know it’s us but even we wouldn’t pay £8M. Right? Right?

And so who does he get minutes over? Sure we can have him bring others into the game, but what good is that when it means benching Fatawu or Mavididi

Remind me again which Leicester RW had more big chances created per 90 than even Salah

 You’ll be sorely mistaken if you think Mav and Fatawu can play every game. He can also cover at number 10 or 9.

Who do you think knows more, this random bloke or Percy, who said our bid is half that?

We don’t actually have many at the club who can play his role. He’s not going to be a goal scorer like Vardy, he’s going to be setting people up. 

Hopefully he improves with the setting people up bit because he has so far averaged 1 assist every 11 games in the Prem

PL... "Okay Leicester, we're going to give you a points deduction but we need you to be more responsible with money, ok?"

 

LEICESTER... *Maintains eye contact as we submit an £8m bid for a crap 32 year old striker*

When the PSR beast comes after us again, I don’t think we could have a bigger indicator why. I don’t care if it’s Rudkin or the recruitment team, we’ve overpaid on three players this summer and we question why there’s constant noise of a second points deduction 

Over £40m on Skipp, Okoli, and potentially Ayew

 

Disgusting

[teblin]

It’ll be up to £8 million and if they get the 8 he’ll have helped keep us up.

Those reactions tell you everything you need to know about this.

[Blanchflower78]

Realistically it shows how far we have fallen as a club. Scary really. 

[Ian Nacho]

With all these staying up add ons it will probably be more cost effective to get relegated

 

[Chrysalis]

Seems to suggest to me Rudkin and co rate Daka, and Ayew is temporary until Daka is fit again, I honestly dont think we signing another striker.

[DJ Barry Hammond]

Think I’d rather us pay Zaha’s tax bill.

Tbf it’s a fair number of them wishing him well and saying he’ll prove our fans wrong… seems popular there

i wouldnt even say hes better than say Mav etc, hes got 11 goals and assist last season, 8mil we could put towards a forward

us spending 8mil on a 32yr old(33 this year) is plain moronic

they are laughing at the fee but most are gutted he is going.

8 million. The Palace fans can't believe it. Nice one Jon.

 

No other club in world football would have bid 8 million for him.

That’s where Reid, McAteer, Buoanotte, Alves all in come in. 
 

I’ve always believed that when you sign a player it should always be an improvement on what’s existing 

[Haywood_6]

That's a ****ing disgrace. 8 million. How could we be so stupid. He's a 32 year old journeyman. We need our ****ing heads looking at if we do this deal. There's some great deals to be had and we're doing this. It's insanity. 

[Wymsey]

Thought the club was a bit tight on money.

[kingpower]

Their fans are saying we've had our pants pulled down...but they also really rate him...not sure that makes it more acceptable tho at the price quoted

Yeah an easy pill to swallow when you're getting 3x his market value. GUFF

[kingpower]

when Rudkin puts him on an 8yr deal because he's just googled amortisation
