Monk hails Ayew capture as major coup for Swansea

Andre Ayew's arrival at Swansea City shows "just how far this club has grown", according to manager Garry Monk.

Garry Monk believes the signing of Ghana international Andre Ayew illustrates the progress made by Swansea City.

Ayew completed his move to the Premier League club on a free transfer from Marseille on Wednesday, the 25-year-old signing a four-year deal.

Swansea achieved a record Premier League placing of eighth last season and claims to have beaten competition from major European clubs to land Ayew.

"I'm extremely pleased we've been able to attract someone of Ayew's quality to this football club," manager Monk told Swansea's official website.
