Jordan Ayew and Fatawu Issahaku set to work under Ruud van Nistelrooy at Leicester City

Leicester City’s new manager, Ruud van Nistelrooy, will guide the progress of Ghanaian players Jordan Ayew and Fatawu Issahaku as he attempts to lift the club out of relegation trouble.

Van Nistelrooy replaces Steve Cooper, with Leicester 16th in the Premier League, just one point above the drop zone.

Ayew, a £9 million summer signing from Crystal Palace, has scored three crucial goals this season and is expected to play a key role under Van Nistelrooy.

Meanwhile, 20-year-old winger Fatawu Issahaku, sidelined for the season with an ACL injury, will focus on recovery.

Van Nistelrooy, previously at PSV Eindhoven and briefly with Manchester United, faces the challenge of revitalizing Leicester, starting with a crucial match against Brentford.
