Scout report
J. Ayew is a 34-year-old centre-forward at Leicester, enjoying a standout season — 6 goals and 3 assists in 42 appearances, a Season grade of 26, top 48% of Championship centre-forwards. On long-term scout potential he's rated 19.5, ranking 470th of 493 in the Championship. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (55.1% of available minutes). He brings 0.36 goal contributions per 90 (0.24 goals, 0.12 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ayew.
Judged on this season alone, Ayew graded 26 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 32nd of 66 of the 66 centre-forwards in the Championship, on 6 goals and 3 assists in 42 appearances (0.355 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 22 → 26). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 20, 64th of 66 of the 66 centre-forwards in the Championship. At 34 Ayew is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 4.5 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Leicester finished 23rd of 24 · a relegation-threatened side
6 goals in 42 appearances (0.14 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a relegation-threatened side. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 9 goal contributions (0.21 per appearance).
Strengths
- Final-third output. 0.36 goal contributions per 90 (0.24 goals, 0.12 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 55.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 19.5, Ayew carries the 64th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Championship of 66, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Leicester finished 23rd of 24) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.36 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
