HITC Sport understands Fenerbahce are in talks to sign Swansea forward Andre Ayew.

Swansea City forward Andre Ayew is closing in on a move to Turkish side Fenerbahce, HITC Sport understands from sources close to the club.

Swansea are resigned to losing Ayew this summer following their relegation from the Premier League last season.

A number of clubs from home and abroad, including Besiktas and Newcastle, have shown an interest in Ayew, but Fenerbahce are now close to winning the race for his signature as they are in advanced talks to sign the former Marseille man.

Fenerbahce are keen to take Ayew on a season-long loan deal with a view to a permanent deal and they are in talks with Swansea.

Ayew rejoined Swansea in January, signing a three-and-a-half year deal for a club record £18m fee from West Ham, having left the club for the Hammers in 2016, but could not help the club avoid relegation to the Championship.

The Ghana international has scored 24 goals and provided 13 assists in 97 combined appearances in the Premier League for both Swansea and West Ham.

Swansea are open to the idea of loaning or selling Ayew for the right price as they look to trim their wage bill in the wake of relegation and raise funds for their own transfer plans before the close of the window next month.
