Former Leicester striker Matty Fryatt spoke to the When You’re Smiling podcast about Jordan Ayew’s role in Steve Cooper’s side: He’s getting a reputation for it [being impactful off the bench] which is a good habit to have. Sometimes defences get tired and you can exploit them spaces when you come on.
“You have to come on with the mentality of trying to make a difference if the game isn’t going to plan. Whatever it is, can you be a game-changer, not just someone who is seeing out time?
“He’s very much part of a squad and we have picked up four points from his goals and made a huge difference. Sometimes he may start, but if he is coming on and doing it then so be it. Aston Villa have the same conundrum with [Ollie] Watkins and [Jhon] Duran coming on.
“He’s getting the chances and finishing well. I don’t put him down as a finisher, more of a link player – but he’s proving to be so key.”
