Ayew And Ayew . . . The Ghanaian Guys On A Mission Against Chelsea

Jordan Ayew is convinced the G-Force can save Swansea City from the pull of relegation.

The Ghana international and his brother Andre are set to be paired again in attack as the Swans search for desperately needed points at home to Chelsea on Saturday night.

Ayew and Ayew have only started together four times since Andre rejoined the club from West Ham in January but their influence is obvious.

The Swans have lost only one of those matches – the crushing 5-0 defeat to Manchester City last week – but at home the combination remain unbeaten.

When Jordan scores, the Swans stay afloat. A fornight ago he struck his 11th of the season and they have never lost when the African marksman has been on the scoresheet.

The Swans, though, have a poor record against the West London giants, having won only one of the two clubs’ 13 Premier League encounters.

“At home, with our supporters behind us and with our confidence, we can beat any team,” said Jordan.

“We are not scared of anyone. We can get points – we know that.

“Everything is in our hands at the moment. If we could get a win against Chelsea, I think it would be a massive result for us.

“I think two wins from here will probably be enough but I don’t want to calculate anything. We will try to win the next four games. It’s still very tight but we just need to focus on our games.”

The Swans start the day with a four-point cushion between themselves and the relegation places.

But that gap could be just one point come kick-off time as Stoke, who go to Liverpool, and Southampton, who host Bournemouth, are in action before Carlos Carvalhal’s side.

Yet Ayew insists the Swans will remain upbeat whatever their relegation rivals do.

“We are confident because six months ago nobody thought we would be in the position we are in,” he added.

“We know we have three more games at home where we have done well. The first one is Chelsea and we focus on that.”

Jordan, 26, is two years younger than Andre, 28, and their current spell together is the first time they have joined forces since they began their careers together in Marseille.

“Being here means a lot to the family and to Ghana. This is one of the best, if not the best league in the world. We try to present our family and our country, and also Swansea City, as well as possible.

“We know that we will always fight and die for this club, because it has given me and my brother so much. I know that we will have smiles at the end of the season.”

Ayew junior says the goals will soon come for both of them and they are living the dream by playing together in the Premier League for the first time in their careers.

“It’s been a dream come true. I’ve been really pleased and really happy because my brother is out with me, pressing the opposition and pushing me hard, urging me forward to score more goals, and to be more effective than ever.

“He is a leader. He’s one of the main leaders in this dressing room and that’s why they got him back here.

“Okay, everyone has been disappointed with the lack of goals. But In my first six months here, I scored, maybe, just one goal.

“The main thing is that Andre is effective and does well for the team.
