Ghana attacker Andre Ayew has revealed that his father Abedi Pele was against his move to West Ham United.

Ayew rejoined the Swans after sealing a club-record £18 million move from West Ham on deadline day, returning less than 18 months after leaving to join the Hammers.

The 28-year old will have the opportunity to play again with his brother after the two were both at French side Marseille.

“My father is happy, he was not for me leaving Swansea to be fair,” said Andre.

“He told me he did not want me to go, he felt I was not done here but things happen and decisions are made."

“But when I had the chance to come back his advice was to come back to Swansea and not go anywhere else."

“I thought about it, I have more experience now so I made sure I considered everything."
