10 August 2018 04:41

​Swansea forward Jordan Ayew has joined ​Premier League side ​Crystal Palace on loan for the 2018/19 season.

The Ghana international scored 11 goals in 44 appearances last season and joins the Eagles as they look to improve upon their finish of 11th in England's top flight last term.

He told Palace's ​website“I am very pleased to be here. It’s been a long transfer window but finally I got a move. 


"The important thing for me now is to get fit and to be in good shape, and I know the manager wants to use me up front and make things happen.


“The manager, chairman and sporting director all made an effort for me to be here today, so I have to thank them. I am looking forward to playing with the boys and meet the fans, and hopefully it’ll be a good season.

“I chose to come to Palace to continue improving. It’s a step up for me and I’m ready for the challenge and to get to where I think I can get to.”
