Jordan Ayew is not alone. Many famous star players have joined Leicester, often performed far below their earlier standard at other clubs. Hopefully, he will leave the club at the end of the season. His time at Leicester will not be remembered as the best part of his career.
At the age of 34 he looks far past his best. Since arriving at Leicester he has scored 10 goals in 55 league games. To wear the number 9 shirt and score 5 goals is not enough. This season he has also looked out of form. He does not have the ability to play in the top forward position.
Jamie Vardy has been the ultimate number 9 for the club over the past decade and his convertion was fantastic. To give this number 9 shirt to Jordan Ayew looks almost as you cannot understand. Please rest this shirt before you find a proper man to weare it. A shirt is just a shirt, but for fans of football’ it’s not.
We have listed all of these under achievers in our “Guys in Disguise” list. They all came to Leicester either before or after their best years in the game.
We can today announce an evolved senior leadership structure designed to provide clarity of responsibility, strengthen governance and support our long-term development both on and off the pitch.
