Jordan Ayew reflects on his Leicester City future amid relegation

Black Stars captain Jordan Ayew is adopting a cautious approach to his future at Leicester City following the club’s relegation from the English Premier League.

Ayew, who joined the Foxes from Crystal Palace in August 2024 on a two-year contract worth around £5 million, endured a challenging debut season under Dutch manager Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Despite individual flashes of brilliance, Leicester managed just six wins all season, sealing their second top-flight relegation in three years.

Besides their drop to the second tier – their second relegation in three seasons – Leicester City set a new English top-flight record by going nine consecutive home matches without scoring, breaking Manchester City’s previous record of eight from the 2006/07 Premier League season.

With a year left on his contract, Ayew is weighing his options. “Staying is an option and leaving is also an option,” he added. “But I’m happy there. I just want to play football and enjoy myself – that’s what makes me happy.”

Speculation has been growing that the former Olympique Marseille and Aston Villa forward may part ways with the East Midlands club in pursuit of top-flight football, even though he still has a year left on his contract.

When asked about the truth behind the rumours, Ayew claims that he is in no rush to make a decision about his future.

“I have one more year on my contract. I need to go on holiday now and see what’s going to happen. I just want to play football and enjoy myself because that is what makes me happy.”
