Why signing Andre Ayew could be the key to Swansea’s survival

Swans bidding to re-sign Ghanaian ace

Swansea City’s Premier League status is very precarious now. Carlos Carvalhal’s men did beat Liverpool last week, but remain bottom of the table and three points from safety.

However, things could all change within the next 72 hours. That’s because Carvalhal is battling to secure a deal to sign former Swans star Andre Ayew from West Ham United before the window closes.

They may be 4/9 favourites for relegation as it stands, but the Coral News Team think everything could change if they get their hands on the Ghanaian. Here’s why…

He’s been the difference-maker for them before

The winger may have only spent a season at the Liberty Stadium – in 2015-16 – but he more than made his mark during that campaign.

Ayew netted 12 goals from the wing for the South Wales club, many of those coming in crucial situations. That included winning goals against the likes of Aston Villa, Everton and Liverpool.

While he’s only on six for the Irons this term – with starts hard to come by – he’s still recorded some vital goals in the Prem as well as in the Hammers’ morale-boosting EFL Cup run.

If he were to add even a few extra goals to the Swans’ cause, it could make all the difference.

Swans’ strikers in dire need of service

On paper, Carvahal has a talented bunch of strikers on his books. Among them are the lively Tammy Abraham, the experienced Wilfried Bony and Andre’s clinical brother Jordan Ayew.

However, Swansea have scored a meagre 15 goals from their 24 league games thus far – four fewer than any other side in the division.
