Andre Ayew is full fit and in contention to face Northampton Town - Swansea City manager hints

Published on: 13 August 2019

Swansea City manager, Steve Copper has confirmed that Andre Ayew has returned to the club and is in line to make an appearance for the club in their League Cup clash with Northampton Town.

Ayew was given extra days after participating in the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations but joined the club on Sunday.

But according to reports, the Ghana skipper could be on his out of the club after spending last season on loan at Turkish fold Fenerbahce.

"He has come back really fit," Swansea manager Steve Cooper told pressmen on Monday ahead of Tuesday's cup fixture, according to the BBC.

"Like everybody, he is in the mix [to face Northampton].

"He could end up being a really good option for us going forward."

However, reports suggest that the former West Ham forward could be rejoining former French club Marseille while other speculation indicated Swansea have offered the winger to Fenerbahce for free to cut down their wage bill.

Cooper, though, recently indicated a desire to have the player with the Championship club for their quest to secure promotion to the Premier League this season.

The 29-year-old was re-signed by the Jack Army on a three-and-a-half-year deal in January last year following an unsuccessful stint with West Ham United.

He has also played for French clubs Lorient and Arles-Avignon in the past.
