Wilfried Bony is like an idol to me - Swansea forward Jordan Ayew

Published on: 23 September 2017

Ghana striker Jordan Aye has expressed his excitement on the return of Wifried Bony to Swansea after the striker joined for Manchester City.

The Ivorian was a big hit in his first stint with the Swans, but moved to City in 2015. However, he struggled and could not fight for a place with the likes of Sergio Aguero.

He rejoined Swansea and Jordan Ayew insists it is good to be working with someone he describes as an idol.

“Wilfried is like a big brother to me,” Ayew told club website.

“He is a big striker, we all know his qualities, and for me, he is like an idol. I look up to him and he advises me. “It is always beneficial to have a striker of that quality in your squad.

“We can learn from him and he can help the younger players, so it’s a positive thing to have him around.

“He played well at Reading and I was happy to see that. He held the ball up well and produced a good performance.”

Ayew who has scored three goals in seven appearances so far this season wants to continue his hard work and become even more incisive.
