According to well-known journalist Matteo Moretto, "four or five" mid-range Premier League clubs and "a club that may qualify for the Champions League" are paying close attention and sending people to inspect Ayon, preparing to take action in January or summer next year. Ayon himself also believes that his physical fitness and ability are very suitable for English football.

However, there is a significant contractual hurdle to the deal. Villarreal reportedly retained a complex secondary transfer clause when selling Ayon to Levante. If the future transfer fee is lower than a certain amount, Villarreal may receive up to nearly 80% of the transfer fee share; only when the transfer fee exceeds this amount, the share ratio will change.

This clause puts Levante at a disadvantage in negotiations, although club executive Jose Danvilla stated that the team has no financial pressure to sell immediately. Commentators speak highly of Ayon, calling him a "complete" forward, and some even said that if he maintains his level, he is willing to pay "50 million or 60 million euros" for him.

In addition, Ayon’s inclusion in the Africa Cup of Nations roster will further enhance his exposure and market value. However, according to regulations, he cannot play for a third team this season.
