Crystal Palace manager Roy Rodgson has welcomed the arrival of Jordan Ayew from Swansea City ahead of the upcoming season.

The Ghanaian international joins the Selhurst Park outfit on a three-year deal following his season-long loan spell with the south London club last season.

Ayew made 20 appearances (including 14 starts) in the Premier League for the Eagles, scoring two goals.

“We are delighted to secure Jordan’s services for another three seasons at Crystal Palace. He has proved himself as a dedicated and hard-working member of the squad, and certainly played his part in the club securing its highest ever Premier League points tally in the last campaign.” Roy Hodgson told the club’s website.
