What The Hell! I'm Off To Aston Villa - Jordan Ayew Rants

Jordan Ayew
Ghana international Jordan Ayew has been lashing out at his bosses at Lorient, accusing them of clandestine moves to stifle his transfer to Aston Villa.

According to the Ghana forward, 'nothing will change' his mind after a three-hour meeting in the company of his father Abedi Pele and Lorient Sporting Director, Christophe Le Roux and Vice President Alex Hayes to discuss the deal with the English side ended inconclusively.

Speaking to L'Equipe, Ayew stated: 'It is incomprehensible. I was told that I could leave for €12m, but now they are asking for 10 million, in pounds, with two million in bonuses, which makes up about €17m!

'What the hell! This meeting finished very badly. I am really very annoyed, but it is incredible what they are doing to me. They were telling me about how much Amavi was bought for by Aston Villa, but I am not Amavi.

'We are two different players who have two different situations. They are basically saying that English clubs can only pay more, because they have money.

'It is finished for me, they bought me for €5m and they are blocking me. Today, I am in Birmingham, I am on my way to Aston Villa. Nothing will change my decision.'

He added: 'But why do you want to keep me at this point? I won't forget that last season, I did not play a single pre-season match and that I was quite badly criticized at the beginning of the season, but nobody at the club defended me.

'Members of staff would apparently reply by saying: 'It is the President who bought him…' Also, my whole family wants to go to England.

'It is the right moment, my wife speaks English. In any case, I am no longer going to training. It is finished for me.

'It is true that I have a contract, but I had a good year, they will make a good profit and you cannot change the rules of the game like that. I can leave for one sum, but if it is Aston Villa, I am worth more. In my head, in any case, I have left.'
