Swansea reject £8m offer from Fulham for Jordan Ayew

Published on: 18 June 2018

According to reports, Swansea City has rejected £8 million bid from Fulham for striker Jordan Ayew.

The Cottagers are aiming to bring in another forward because they heavily relied on loanee Aleksandar Mitrovic in the second half of last season.

Bringing in another proven striker also improves their bargaining position with Newcastle because it reduces their dependence on the Serbian striker, with his price likely to go up due to the World Cup.

Even though the former Aston Villa forward has no future at the club, according to Wales Online, the Swans consider the bid too low.

Ayew was Swansea's main goalscorer last season with seven goals in the league as well as one of their top performers.

Tammy Abraham has moved back to parent club Chelsea, so losing Ayew would leave them light in forward areas.

Therefore, they can't afford to let him leave unless it's for a high price.
