Leicester City have started talks with Swansea City in order to sign Ghanaian attackeJordan Ayew.

Ayew was the best player in Swansea last season scoring seven goals in 36 EPL games as the Welsh side could not survive the topflight.

The Ghanaian has caught the attention of several EPL teams including Fulham, Everton and others but according to The Times, Leicester City are leading the race to sign the 26-year-old forward and have already opened talks with Swansea.

Leicester City boss Claude Puel who has been a fan of Jordan since his days in France is ready to go for him as he seeks to add bite to his attack following the sale of Riyadh Mahrez to Manchester City.

The Foxes could pay around £10 million for Jordan as Fulham’s £8 million was rejected.
