Ghanaian and Swansea City forward Jordan Ayew has emerged as the third most fouled player in the ongoing English Premier League.

Ayew has been fouled 62 times in 2038 minutes behind Watford's Brazilian wonder kid Richarlison (who has been fouled 76 times in 2209) and England and Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Dele Alli (who has drawn 66 fouls in 2109).

The striker is Swansea's most inform player as he has been involved in almost every game they have won this year.

He started the season as a second striker often playing behind Chelsea loanee Tammy Abraham and Wilfried Bony but the arrival of Spaniard Carlos Carvalhal as Swansea boss has seen him thrust into the centre-forward role where he has found form.
