Jordan Ayew says he remains undecided about his future with Leicester City following the club’s relegation from the Premier League.
The Ghanaian captain joined the Foxes from Crystal Palace in August 2024, signing a two-year deal under the leadership of new manager Ruud van Nistelrooy.
But the move has proved challenging for both player and club, with Leicester suffering a disappointing campaign that culminated in their second relegation in just three seasons.
Ayew featured prominently throughout the year, making 36 appearances and scoring six goals.
Despite his efforts, Leicester managed just six victories across the season.
The team also endured a bleak run of form at the King Power Stadium, failing to find the net in nine consecutive home matches — setting a new and unwanted Premier League record previously held by Manchester City.
The 33-year-old forward, currently valued at around £5 million, has yet to commit to either staying or seeking a move away.
Speaking to Flashscore, Ayew admitted he has not had the time to fully reflect on the season or make a definitive decision about his future.
“I haven’t had a chance to really think about it yet. I need to take a step back, go on vacation, sit down and analyze the whole season,” Ayew said. “What was meant to happen has happened, now we need to move forward.”
Although the striker has not ruled out continuing with the East Midlands side in the Championship, he is keeping his options open.
Ayew, who has previously played for Marseille, Aston Villa, and Swansea City, emphasized that his main priority remains enjoying the game.
“Staying is one option, leaving is another. But I feel good here. What I want most is to play football and enjoy it. That’s what gives me the most happiness,” he said.
Ayew’s situation reflects a broader uncertainty at Leicester City, as the club braces for a likely overhaul during the summer transfer window.
The future of several key players hangs in the balance as the Foxes prepare for life in the Championship once again.
For Ayew, a decision will come only after time away from the game — a moment to regroup after a draining season and to evaluate whether his future lies in leading Leicester’s push for promotion or seeking a new chapter elsewhere.
