Ayew to join Crystal Palace permanently after the AFCON

While they wait for Ayew to return in order to put the finishing touches to the negotiations, his future is rapidly becoming clearer. Swansea will not be able to keep him as they are playing in the Championship. 

The Ghanaian player is clear that his aim is to be playing in the Premier League and his main suitor is Crystal Palace, who know him well after having had him at the club last season on loan.

Ayew moved to Swansea from Aston Villa for six million euros. Now, his departure from the Welsh club seems imminent. 

At 27, the attacker faces one of the most crucial moments of his career, since as well as showing good quality at the African Cup of Nations, he could make a permanent move to a Premier League club.
