Ghana captain, Andre Ayew has opened up on why he stayed at Championship side, Swansea City.

The 31-year-old was expected to leave the Liberty Stadium prior to the start of the season after returning from a loan spell with Turkish giants Fenerbahce.

With some European club battling for the signature of the U-20 World Cup winner, Ayew stayed at the club.

The former West Ham ace has been a key player for Steve Cooper's side.

And according to him, he has been determined to repay the faith shown in him by Cooper since the opportunity arose for him to leave ahead of the current campaign.

"The manager said, 'I want you - you don't have to move; the club is ready to keep you," he told FourFourTwo.

"That message was big for me. A few things came in, but whether it was the league, the club or maybe not what I wanted financially, I never felt like everything was there, so I continued at Swansea."

He was on the scoresheet in Swansea City 3-0 away win at Millwall on Saturday in the English Skybet Championship.

Ayew has netted 15 goals in 39 appearances for the Swans this season.
