'I was overweight' - Jordan Ayew reveals reason behind initial Crystal Palace struggles

The Ghanaian opened up on his difficult start to life at Selhurst Park after scoring a dramatic late winner against West Ham

Jordan Ayew has revealed the reason behind his initial struggles at Crystal Palace, confessing that he was "overweight" at the start of the 2018-19 season.

Ayew joined the Eagles on a season-long loan from Swansea in the summer of 2018, which allowed him to remain in the Premier League after his parent club's relegation.

The 28-year-old racked up 22 appearances across all competitions last term, but only managed to get himself on the score sheet once over the course of the campaign.
