Jordan Ayew's recent fine form for Swansea leaves former club Aston Villa regretting their decision to trade him

Published on: 18 September 2017

Ghana striker Jordan Ayew has left his former club Aston Villa thinking of why they allowed him to leave for Swansea City.

Back in the January transfer window, Villa’s decision to swap Swansea City left-back Neil Taylor for Jordan appeared to make sense.

But with his recent fine form for the EPL side Villa are said to have regretted that move.

Jordan looks a new player since swapping the Midlands for South Wales.

He may have scored once in just five Premier League starts for Swansea in 2017/18 but has consistently been one of their liveliest attacking players and a positive source of menace.

He certainly would have come in handy for a Villa side who, prior to Saturday’s 3-0 win at Barnsley, had looked as toothless this season as they did for the majority of last.

Instead, the former Lorient talisman has continued to prove that he does belong in the Premier League after impressing as a rare bright spark in a dismal Villa side during their 2015/16 relegation season.

Bruce might not have seen much in Ayew but Swansea counterpart Paul Clement appears to be getting the best out of his gifted but erratic attacker.
