Premier League newcomers, Leicester City, have announced the signing of Ghanaian forward Jordan Ayew.

The Foxes acquire the services of the player from Crystal Palace in a deal worth £8 million with Jordan signing a two-year deal with the club.

The Ghanaian's transfer is subject to FA and Premier League approval.

Speaking following the announcement of the deal, Ayew told the club's website, "I’m very happy to be here and I’m proud. I want to thank the Club as they fought hard to bring me here – it happened quickly and I’m so happy to be here.

"As a player, when you hear that the manager wants you, it just makes you want to come and work under him and to try to improve. Even though I’m 32, as a player you always want to learn and improve. I’m here to work hard and help the team achieve their targets."

Ayew made 212 appearances for the Eagles in all competitions scoring 23 goals and setting up 21 others in that period.
