Jordan Ayew ready to kickstart Swansea career

Jordan Ayew is ready to kickstart his career at Swansea City.

Brother Andre Ayew finished last season as Swansea's top scorer with 12 goals, enough to convince West Ham to break their club-record transfer fee and sign him for £20.5m.

"That has always been the history," said Jordan, the more reserved brother. "Andre has been fantastic. He was 20 at Marseille, and then I went there.

"I had good times, but then had some difficulties and had to move to two different clubs, Sochaux and Lorient, to end up finding myself at Villa in 2015.

"I spoke to my brother about coming to Swansea because he is like my lawyer. Our parents did so well to educate us in the best possible way and to keep us united. Our background is so strong that no one can break us. There is no rivalry between us, but maybe I am more ambitious than him!"
