Black stars captain Andre Ayew insists he is happy with his decision to play for Swansea City in the Championship.

The 31-year-old is in fine form and has been crucial for the Welsh club in the English second-tier this season, having so far racked up 17 goals in 44 games (play-off inclusive).

The former West Ham winger  has faced lots of criticisms from Ghanaians after he decided to stay with the Swans following their relegation to the Championship in 2017. However Ayew insists he is content with his choice to remain at Swansea.

“Some people will say maybe my career has dwindled because I’m playing in the championship and let me say there were offers to go and play in the Premier League and I could have jumped at the first offer that came in, but no,” he told BBC Sport Africa.

“Sometimes it’s not every offer that comes that you have to take, you first look at your happiness and then consult your family and the team and see what is best before making a decision.

“I really don’t think I have lost anything, look at my numbers both here and at the national team, they are getting better and I’m happy for the journey I took.”
