Jordan Ayew is growing into the player he has always been expected to be. The Ghanaian forward joined English Premier League side Aston Villa from French club FC Lorient, a club he joined after a troubled Olympique Marseille career.
The player had a slow start to his Villa career but has cracked out of his shell to emerge as one of Aston Villa’s top performers despite their poor run of form.
The Black Stars player in an interview with French radio stations RMC said he is a believer in fate and has never regretted leaving Ligue 1 club Olympique Marseille, where he was tagged a 'bad boy'. The player said:
“Everywhere I succeeded, except in Marseille. I do not regret [leaving], because I am a believer in fate.
