Ghana forward Jordan Ayew is optimistic about Leicester City’s upcoming match against former club Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.
Ayew returns to South London for the first time since moving to the King Power Stadium in the summer transfer window. The Black Stars forward spent six seasons with Crystal Palace until leaving in August 2024.
The 33-year-old acknowledged that it will be an emotional occasion for him as he pays his final farewell to the club.
However, he is focused on assisting Leicester City in securing their first victory of the season at a stadium where he has lived for the past six years.
“It will be strange because I was there for six years and it was my home. Obviously I’m going to meet a lot of people who I didn’t get to say goodbye to properly and it’s going to be emotional and mixed feelings, but I have to defend my new colours,” he told LCFC.
“When the game starts, I have no friends until after the game. I’m going to make sure that we get three points or one point and perform well as a team to keep our fans happy, celebrating a first away victory or draw.
“We need to get something out of the game and I’m positive. It would be massive for confidence and for belief for the future as well. We’re going there humbled, but we definitely want to have a good performance and hopefully get the points.”
