Forward Jordan Ayew, captain Ricardo Pereira and striker Patson Daka are among 10 players released by Leicester City following their relegation from the Championship.

Ghana international Ayew, 34, is expected to be part of the Black Stars squad for this summer’s World Cup but is leaving the Foxes after two seasons which saw them relegated in successive years.

He scored 11 league goals in 72 appearances for Leicester and featured in all but four of their Championship matches this season as they finished second from bottom.

Defender Pereira, 32, won both the FA Cup and the Community Shield during his eight seasons at Kingpower Stadium after signing from Porto for £21.8m in 2018.

The City skipper made 220 appearances in all competitions for the club, scoring 15 goals and his departure had been announced earlier this month.

Also departing is Daka who cost £23m when joining from RB Salzburg in 2021 but he managed only five goals in 41 Championship appearances this season.

He leaves along with defender Jamaal Lascelles who signed on a short-term deal in January.

Defenders Jake Donohue and Jahmari Lindsay have also been released along with midfielders Alfie Fisken, Toby Onanaye, and Olaoluwa Omobolaji and striker Chris Popov who scored seven goals during a loan spell with Morecambe this season.

Leicester have confirmed 38-year-old goalkeeper Asmir Begovic is in talks to sign a new contract with his current deal due to expire this summer.
