The Swansea City striker was joking about the West Ham United striker.
West Ham United’s Andre Ayew looks dejected after a missed chance
Jordan Ayew has been talking about his relationship with brother and West Ham forward Andre Ayew to the Daily Mail this week.
The Ghanaian left Aston Villa in January to secure a move to Andre’s former team Swansea City. He admitted to the Mail that he spoke to Andre about the move. He then went on to suggest he is more ambitious then his older sibling:
“I spoke to my brother about coming to Swansea because he is like my lawyer. Our parents did so well to educate us in the best possible way and to keep us united.
“Our background is so strong that no one can break us. There is no rivalry between us, but maybe I am more ambitious than him!”
It is quite a claim from the 25-year-old. Both players, who are sons to legendary Marseille and Ghana forward Abedi Pele, have ambition to cement themselves as stars in the Premier League.
Andre has certainly started on that path, although his injury ravaged first season at West Ham is not helping his cause.
Jordan on the other hand has had a more difficult time in English football.
Aston Villa’s Jordan Ayew shoots at goal
He was one of Aston Villa’s better players last season, as they finished rock-bottom of the Premier League. He then struggled to win over Steve Bruce after he arrived at Villa Park this season and has headed to Swansea – with the hope of helping them to Premier League survival.
He will no doubt hope to have a similar impact at Swansea to the one his brother did.
