Jordan Ayew salary at Sheffield United revealed after free transfer from Leicester City

Jordan Ayew will earn £500,000 gross during his one-season contract with Sheffield United, according to Footy-Africa, after joining the club as a free agent following the end of his time at Leicester City.

The 34-year-old Ghana striker has agreed to remain with the Blades until the conclusion of the 2026/27 season. His deal also contains provisions that could allow it to be extended.

The reported figure is equivalent to about €582,500 at current exchange rates. That would give Ayew an estimated gross monthly salary of approximately €48,500 during his time at Sheffield United.

On a weekly basis, the Ghana international is expected to receive around €11,200 before tax and social-security deductions. His reported monthly income after tax and other contributions is slightly above €23,000, although the final amount will depend on his personal tax position and any additional deductions.

Ayew arrives with extensive experience of English football and is expected to provide Sheffield United with another proven attacking option. He played 42 Championship matches for Leicester City last season, scoring six goals, before his contract expired.

The forward will now look to use that experience to help the Blades, while also contributing to their attacking output. He had attracted interest from AEL Limassol in recent weeks, according to exclusive information reported by Africafoot.

Ayew’s move represents another chapter in a career spent largely in English football. His familiarity with the Championship should allow him to settle quickly as Sheffield United prepare for the 2026/27 campaign.

Sheffield United are due to face Blackburn in their sixth-round Championship fixture soon. The published odds from betting company 1xbet make Sheffield United the favourites, with a victory priced at 2.28.

Blackburn are listed at 2.95 to win, while a draw is priced at 3.40.

The salary figures give an indication of the financial terms behind Ayew’s move, although the reported amounts are gross and therefore do not represent his final take-home pay. His contract length, the possibility of an extension and his familiarity with the English game are the key features of Sheffield United’s agreement with the Ghana captain.
