Andre Ayew has admitted that he consulted Black Stars head coach Kwesi Appiah before committing his future to Swansea.
The Black Stars Skipper had numerous offers to depart from the Championship club but pledged to stay.
According to the 29-year-old attacking midfielder, he was assured that playing Championship football would not affect his international duties.
"He said: 'It's a very good league and if that's your decision I am okay as long as you are fit and you do what you have always done with the national team',"
"That was important because the national team is very, very important for me.
"I have always represented my country with a lot of honor and a lot of pride. I am very proud of where I am from and of what any Ghanaian is doing. We have always tried to raise the flag really high." Ayew explained in an interview with BBC
Ayew joined Swansea for a club-record £18m fee in January 2018 and returned for a third spell after a season long loan with Fenerbache.
