Andre Ayew named Premier League Player of the Month for August

Swansea City striker Andre Ayew has been named August’s Barclays Premier League Player of the Month.

Ghana international Ayew, 25, has scored three goals as the unbeaten Swansea sit in fourth place with eight points from their opening four games.

Ayew took the award ahead of his team-mate Bafetimbi Gomis as well as Manchester City duo David Silva and Aleksandar Kolarov.

Also nominated were Leicester’s Riyad Mahrez and Manchester United’s Chris Smalling.

Ayew joined Swansea in June from French club Marseille and scored on his Premier League debut against Chelsea.

He and Gomis have provided all of Swansea’s seven league goals so far. They visit Watford on Saturday.

Ayew is the son of Ghana legendary player Abedi Pele.
