Crystal Palace boss Patrick Vieira has singled out the Ghanaians international for praise as his side prepare to take on an out-of-form Leicester City at the King Power this weekend.
The manager says that Jordan Ayew’s ability to play in central midfield has offered his side an extra element of tactical flexibility.
“Jordan is the type of player that is happy to be on the field regardless of his position,” Vieira said in his pre-match press conference. “He is going to be giving 100 percent to the team.
“He is one of those players that you call a team player. On the pre-season tour, we tried him for around 15-20 minutes in central midfield and he did really well.
“We had a bit of a conversation on that and he liked to be around those positions as well, so that gave us a bit more tactical flexibility – but I like to have players in their best positions and his best position is on the right-hand side.”
