With Leicester City relegated, Jordan Ayew, captain of the Black Stars, is taking a cautious stance on his future there.
Ayew’s debut season with Leicester City, following his £5 million move from Crystal Palace, proved difficult under manager Ruud van Nistelrooy.
Although Leicester showed moments of brilliance, their six wins weren’t enough, resulting in their second relegation to the Championship in three years.
Leicester City’s relegation to the second tier, their second in three seasons, coincided with a new English top-flight record: nine consecutive scoreless home matches, surpassing Manchester City’s 2006/07 record of eight.
Ayew, with a year remaining on his deal, is exploring different possibilities. “Both staying and leaving are options,” he stated. “However, I’m content there. My happiness comes from playing football and enjoying myself”.
Rumors are swirling that the ex-Olympique Marseille and Aston Villa striker might leave his East Midlands team to play in a top division despite having a year left on his contract.
Pressed about the truth of the rumors, Ayew stated he’s taking his time deciding his future.
“My contract has another year to run. “A holiday is necessary; I need to see what transpires.” “Playing football and having fun is what makes me happy, so that’s what I intend to do.”
Ayew’s ability to play multiple attacking roles under Van Nistelrooy let him make key contributions whether he started or came off the bench.
Leicester City’s attack benefited significantly from his 36 appearances and six goals across all competitions, showcasing his experience and adaptability.
