Swansea City striker Jordan Ayew says he feels reborn after ending his first season at Swansea on a high note.

Ayew joined Swansea from championship outfit Aston Villa during the winter transfer period and has managed to form a deadly attacking partnership with Fernando Llorente which helped the Welsh side to escape relegation.

The former Marseille man insists he is enjoying life at Wales as he looks forward to his first full season.

“It has not been easy for me this season,” Ayew told his club’s official website.

“I came from Aston Villa in January. I was lucky the club had confidence in me and brought me here.”I don’t know what to say – thank you is not enough.”I am so happy here. I feel like I have been reborn.

“The supporters have been wonderful. The gaffer, the staff – everyone has been wonderful to me. I just thank God.It was not easy this year, but I thank God. I really believe in God and without him I wouldn’t be where I am today.

“I thank him and I thank Swansea for giving me this chance.”

After scoring in the 2-1 win over West Brom on the last day, Ayew says he is now looking towards improving next season.

“The best is yet to come from me,” he declared.

“Next season I’m going to be at Swansea from the start so I’m going to have a good preparation and hopefully I’ll have a wonderful season. We have set the standard now and we need to continue like that next season.”

Ayew has also previously featured for  Sochaux and Lorient
