Official: André Ayew Signs with Swansea City
It’s now official — Ghanaian international André Ayew has joined Swansea City. The Welsh Premier League club confirmed the signing on Wednesday via its social media channels, ending days of speculation surrounding the move.
Ayew, 25, leaves Olympique de Marseille after 11 years with the club, marking the end of a long and successful chapter in French football. The versatile attacking midfielder has now signed a four-year contract with Swansea, embarking on his first experience in a foreign league.
The former Lorient loanee had attracted strong interest from major European clubs, including Italy’s AS Roma and Inter Milan. However, Ayew opted for a move to the Premier League, a destination he has long admired. He passed his medical earlier in the day before putting pen to paper on the deal.
Ayew will wear the number 10 shirt for Swansea in the upcoming season — a symbol of the role the club envisions for him in its attacking setup.
Speaking on the move, Swansea hailed Ayew’s experience at both club and international levels. A key figure for the Ghanaian national team, Ayew was instrumental in their run to the final of the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations and brings added creativity and leadership to Garry Monk’s side.
With this high-profile signing, Swansea send a clear signal of their ambitions ahead of the new Premier League campaign.
