Swansea City star, Andre Ayew has revealed he rejected multiple offers during the summer to stay at Swansea City and believes it was a good decision.
The Ghana international was expected to part ways with the Championship last summer after returned from Turkey prior to the start of the season.
The 31-year-old however, opted against leaving and decided to stay and help Swansea secure Premier League promotion.
Ayew, who has been phenomenal for Swansea this season, scored the only goal against Barnsley in the semifinal first leg playoff on Monday night.
“Some people will say maybe my career has dwindled because I’m playing in the championship and let me say there were offers to go and play in the Premier and I could have jumped at the first offer that came in, but no,” he told BBC Sport Africa.
“Sometimes it’s not every offer that comes that you have to take, you first look at your happiness and then consult your family and the team and see what is best before making a decision.
“I really don’t think I have lost anything, look at my numbers both here and at the national team, they are getting better and I’m happy for the journey I took.”
“I don’t know how this season will end but my experience has guided a lot of these young players here, they have learnt a thing or two from me and off-course I have also picked up some things from them too,” he explained.
“I have played at the World Cup and in the Champions League I think it’s important that I share some of my experiences with the ones also starting their journey.
“We have made the playoffs twice already and if we go up what would you say? And even if we don’t go up, I will know that I gave it my all and just didn’t make the jump when things got tough.”
Ayew has scored 17 goals this season.
