Crystal Palace close to announcing Jordan Ayew arrival?

Crystal Palace are on the verge of finalising a deal for Swansea City forward Jordan Ayew, according to a report.

Terms are said to have been agreed for the 26-year-old, who led the scoring charts for the relegated Welsh outfit last season with 11 goals.

Ayew is in South London undergoing a medical, with BBC Sport claiming that the move is expected to go through before the 5pm deadline.

The 46-cap Ghana international has refused to train with Swansea during the summer, and boss Graham Potter admitted earlier this week that he did not expect him to stick around.

City wanted Jairo Riedewald as part of a swap deal, but a move for the versatile defender broke down.
