Andre Ayew has made known in a series of interviews that the club he supports in England is Liverpool and has failed to rule out a transfer move to the Anfield club.
Abedi Pele speaking to Starr FM said:
“Today, I think football is in England. The best league is in England. I think times have changed from when I was in Italy at Torino. Today it has shifted to the other side.

“My boys have their young time dreams and the teams they support in England and we hope they one day get those teams but what is most important is to put their foot in England and they have done and are doing well.”
Swansea City and Aston Villa are both struggling in the English Premier League but Andre and Jordan Ayew continue to shine for their respective clubs in their relegation battling moment. A transfer move to a different club in England could be on the cards for the players at the end of the season.
