André Ayew Earns August Player of the Month Nomination in Premier League
Swansea City forward André Ayew continues to make headlines in England following his impressive start to life in the Premier League. After being named the league’s best new signing earlier this month, the Ghanaian international has now been shortlisted for the Premier League Player of the Month award for August.
Ayew, who arrived from Olympique de Marseille during the summer transfer window, has quickly adapted to English football, delivering standout performances that have drawn widespread praise from fans and pundits alike. His combination of work rate, technical ability, and attacking instinct has made him an integral part of Garry Monk’s Swansea side.
The 25-year-old is one of six players in the running for the monthly award. Joining him on the shortlist is his Swansea teammate Bafétimbi Gomis, who has also enjoyed a prolific start to the season. The French striker has formed a dynamic partnership with Ayew, with both players finding the net regularly in the opening matches.
The other contenders include Manchester City duo Aleksandar Kolarov and David Silva, who have helped their side to a perfect start in the league, Leicester City’s in-form winger Riyad Mahrez — already a fan favourite after a string of dazzling displays — and Manchester United defender Chris Smalling, whose commanding presence at the back has been key to United’s solid defensive record.
Ayew’s nomination is a reflection of his seamless transition to English football and his impact on Swansea’s early-season success. With goals, assists, and tireless contributions across the pitch, the Ghanaian has already established himself as one of the Premier League’s most exciting new talents.
The winner of the Player of the Month award will be announced in the coming days, with Ayew hoping to cap a stellar first month in English football with another accolade.
