Swansea City set to hold transfer talks with Andre Ayew

Published on: 22 July 2020

Swansea City manager Steve Cooper says the club will hold transfer talks with Ghanaian forward Andre Ayew at the end of the season in a bid to lure him to extend his contract.

The 30-year-old, who is Swansea's highest earner has a year left on his contract, having joined them on a three-year deal from West Ham United in 2018.

Speaking ahead of their game against Reading today, Cooper disclosed Ayew is focused on helping Swansea City make the playoffs as they target victory before discussing his future.

"I'm sure we'll have that conversation again, but now it's just about Wednesday,” Cooper was quoted as saying by Wales Online.

"He's fully focused on that and I'm fully focused on that. Let's not let any thoughts interfere with getting it right on Wednesday."

"I can't speak highly enough of him. He's not on his own, with Nathan [Dyer], Wayne [Routledge], Kyle [Naughton], Erwin [Mulder]," he added.

"The older players are a real credit to themselves and the football club.

"Andre's been really great hasn't he? You've all seen him on the pitch and the contribution he's made and the energy levels that he gives. He leads by example when he's playing and when he's training.

"He's a very good person and a really good professional. It's been brilliant to see how a top player operates, so I can't speak highly enough of him. I just hope he does the business again on Wednesday."

Ayew has made 44 appearances in all competitions this season for Swansea, scored 17 goals and provided six assists.
