Lorient coach Sylvain Ripoll insists Jordan Ayew is not for sale.

It's been suggested Ayew would demand a transfer from Lorient to follow older brother Andre to the Premier League. Andre Ayew signed for Swansea City last week.

Stoke City and West Bromwich Albion have been linked with Jordan.

However, Ripoll says: "This player (Ayew) is a very important part of the team.

"He's someone who can fill in many positions, he will be an integral part of the project of the club for the coming years."
