SUFC News: Ayew state of play as United ‘eye’ transfer move after Wilder comments
The 34-year-old Ghana international adds Championship experience and versatility after Leicester City’s relegation, with Sheffield United needing to free a squad place to register him.
- Sheffield United have signed experienced forward Jordan Ayew on a free transfer, securing the 34-year-old on a deal running until the end of the season after his Leicester City contract expired.
- Blades manager Chris Wilder pursued the signing to add veteran presence, emphasizing that Ayew understands the Championship and operates across the forward line, fitting his recruitment strategy for experienced players.
