Ghana captain Jordan Ayew will leave Leicester City at the end of the season after the club confirmed he is among 10 senior players set to depart this summer following their relegation to English League One.

The 34-year-old joined Leicester from Crystal Palace in August 2024 for a reported fee of £5 million, which could rise to £8 million through add-ons. At the time, Leicester had just secured promotion to the Premier League and turned to Ayew's experience as they prepared for life back in the top flight.

During his time at the club, the versatile forward featured regularly and remained an important figure in the squad. He scored six goals in 42 appearances during the 2025/26 campaign.

Ayew arrived at Leicester after a successful six-year spell at Crystal Palace, where he made more than 200 appearances. He has also played for Swansea City, Aston Villa and Olympique Marseille.

With more than 500 club appearances and over 100 career goals, Ayew remains one of Ghana's most experienced football exports.

His attention will now shift to international duty as Ghana continue preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup in North America.

Ayew is expected to captain the Black Stars at the tournament, where Ghana have been drawn in Group L alongside England, Croatia and Panama.

As one of the senior figures in the squad, the forward will be relied upon for leadership and experience as Ghana seek to progress beyond the group stage and make an impact on football's biggest stage.
