AFC Bournemouth join transfer chase for Ghanaian forward

The rumours will be at its peak as the ‘donkomi’ bell starts to ring for the sales of some players in the Aston Villa squad.

AFC Bournemouth are planning a summer transfer move for Ghana international Jordan Ayew alongside Leeds United midfielder Lewis Cook, the Daily Mail reports.

Jordan joined Aston Villa last summer from French Ligue 1 club FC Lorient, a move that was triggered by his elder brother Andre Ayew joining Swansea City from Olympique Marseille.

Ayew has been one of the few silver linings in Aston Villa entirely poor season despite having a slow start to life in England.

The Black Stars forward who has previously been linked with West Ham United is now in the books of Christian Atsu’s former club AFC Bournemouth.

Bournemouth who were tipped to quickly return to the English Championship have comfortably survived relegation and manager Eddie Howe is looking to boost his squad for next season with Jordan Ayew being one of the top two targets in his mind.

Jordan Ayew according to reports making the rounds could be spoilt for choice in staying in the English Premier League next season despite the fact that his current Aston Villa side will be playing in the English Championship.

The 24-year-old has scored six Premier League goals for Aston Villa in their season so far.
