In an exclusive interview Ayew also sheds light on the influence his brother, Andre, now of West Ham United, has had on his career. 

“I spoke to my brother and he told me to come here," he says of his transfer from Aston Villa to Swansea City.

“When Andre was playing here, I was here every week. I was always laughing at my brother because in Swansea it was always raining. A year later, I am here!"
