Leicester close to signing Crystal Palace's Ayew

Leicester are close to signing Crystal Palace forward Jordan Ayew for an initial £5m.

The Foxes want to bring in at least two offensive players and Ayew, 32, is poised to move to the King Power Stadium in a deal rising to £8m.

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 boss Steve Cooper ruling him out through injury just three days before.

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