Leicester City have reached agreement with Crystal Palace on an £8million deal to sign forward Jordan Ayew.
The Foxes have been pushing to sign the 32-year-old after having an initial offer around £4m rejected last week. Talks have continued with Steve Cooper eager to bolster his attacking options after a spate of injuries.
Ayew has made 212 appearances for the Eagles, scoring 23 times and picking up 22 assists in all competitions.
The fee for the Ghanaian will be £5m with a further £3m in add-ons.
Cooper said on Thursday: 'I think we are close but we have been close before I thought the week before we were adding two attacking players but it didn’t happen in the end.
