Crystal Palace captain, Luka Milivojevic has noted that Ghanaian striker Jordan Ayew deserved to be named the club’s player for the month of August following his show of impressive form.
The Black Stars forward has been in outstanding form since the start of the English Premier League season and helped the Eagles to pick up important points in the past month.
He found the back of the net when they visited Old Trafford to play Manchester United before going on to score another goal against Aston Villa.
His exploits made supporters of the club fall in love with him and subsequently voted him their player of the club for the month of August.
Sharing his thoughts on Ayews recent achievement, Luka Milivojevic indicated that he was not surprised when the accolade was given to the striker because he deserved it.
“It was no surprise to me to see our fans name him player of the month for August. He fully deserves it”.
“He has been brilliant this opening month of the season. Last season he was with us on loan and he did a lot of good work for the team but probably didn’t get the amount of chances he would have liked due to different options we had upfront in the likes of Michy [Batshuayi] and Christian [Benteke].
“This season, returning on a permanent contract has given him a greater focus in his mind. I can see from the first day after returning from the Africa Cup of Nations, he is hungry to succeed and he has added something we have missed”, Milivojevic wrote in his programme notes for Crystal Palace’s last match against Wolves.
