English Premier League side, Swansea City FC, have pulled off a major summer coup by signing Ghanaian International, Andre Ayew on a four-year deal. The forward has joined on a Bosman transfer after his Marseille contract expired at the end of last season. Swansea fought off competitions to land the 25-year-old, whose father, Abedi Pele, is considered one of the greatest African players of all time.
Ayew will become the club's top earner, earning in excess of £50,000 a week. He finalised personal terms in Wales on Wednesday before completing a medical. The midfielder spoke of his delight at completing his move to the Premier League outfit.
He told the Swansea website, 'The project that the club has for the future is very exciting, and when I spoke to the chairman and manager I felt this was the right place for me. I felt that my desire to play in the Premier League and wanting to grow as a player meant that Swansea was the best solution for me in every way. Seeing the honesty and desire of the club made me feel that they really wanted me to come. They have proved that in all ways.'
