Swansea City To Hold Talks With Andre Ayew Over Possible Contract Extension

Swansea City boss, Steve Cooper has hinted that the club will hold talks with vice-captain, Andre Ayew over a possible contract extension at the end of the season.

The forward has been magnificent for the Swansea in their process of booking a place in the EFL Championship playoff.

Ayew assisted their 4:1 win over Reading on Wednesday night scoring 15 goals and providing 7 assists in 44 matches this season

Ayew was expected to depart the Liberty Stadium last summer although he committed his future to the Swans after a transfer failed to materialize and with one year left to run on his contract with the Ghana international is likely to leave the club in the summer.

However, according to Cooper, the club will hold discussions with the forward in due course.

“I’m sure we’ll have that conversation again, I can’t speak highly enough of him," he said.

“The older players are a real credit to themselves and the football club.

“Andre’s been really great, hasn’t he. You’ve all seen him on the pitch and the contribution he’s made and the energy levels that he gives. He leads by example when he’s playing and when he’s training, he said.

“He’s a very good person and a really good professional. It’s been brilliant to see how a top player operates, so I can’t speak highly enough of him," he added.

The Swans will face Brentford in the EFL playoff semifinal, while Fulham will take on Cardiff in the other semifinal.
