Jordan Ayew is relishing his second chance at Crystal Palace and has become the club’s most important player this season.

Having struggled to nail down a place in the side last season, Ayew has started all but one of their 32 Premier League games this time around.

It only took him a few weeks to beat his goal tally for the previous campaign.

The 28-year-old currently stands as The Eagles’ top scorer for the campaign, having notched nine goals so far.

“I’ve always thought that I was a good finisher, but sometimes you just need a bit of luck,” Ayew said in an interview with Sky Sports.

“This year, I’ve had quite a bit of luck, but luck doesn’t just come like that, you need to provoke it. I’ve been working really, really hard on that but there’s still room for improvement.”

Ayew is the highest-scoring Ghanaian in the Premier League with 25 goals, breaking Tony Yeboah’s previous record.
