Andre Ayew joins Swansea

Out-of-contract Marseille winger Andre Ayew has joined Swansea City.

Swansea City has announced a deal to sign Andre Ayew on a free transfer.

The Ghana winger has been on the lookout for a new club ahead of the expiry of his Marseille contract and has opted to move to the Premier League, penning a four-year deal at the Liberty Stadium.

Ayew had been linked with West Ham prior to joining Swansea and the 25-year-old becomes manager Garry Monk's first new arrival of the offseason. Striker Bafetimbi Gomis is said to have played a significant role in luring him to the club.
