Ghana's Andre Ayew is the second most fouled player in the English Premier League, statistics have shown.

The Swansea City midfielder is rated second behind Senegal and Southampton winger Sadio Mane after suffering 46 tackles in 19 Premier League matches.

The statistics released by Squakwa Football show that the deputy Ghana is amongst the best handlers of the ball in the EPL.

The Ghana forward joined the Swans in June last years and has since proven to be a priceless asset for the side.

The swift and talented Ghana forward noted for his surging runs has suffered a lot of bad tackles from defenders and midfielders in the Premier League.

Sadio Mane who is leading the list has suffered 49 tackles while Chelsea's Willian comes third with 43 tackles suffered.

Andre Ayew is in contention for the African Footballer of Year which is set to take place tonight in Abuja, Nigeria.
