Aston Villa, Everton chase Ayew

Aston Villa, Crystal Palace and Everton are chasing Ghana striker Jordan Ayew, according to French broadsheet L’Equipe on Sunday.

The English Premier League trio are joined by Borussia Dortmund as the Bundesliga side prepare to sell Ciro Immobile to Spanish side Sevilla.

Ayew, 22, is under contract with French Ligue 1 side Lorient until the summer of 2018.

His rich vein of scoring form last term-12 goals and five assists- helped Les Merlus to escape relegation narrowly.

French Ligue 1 outfit Lille are also interested in Ayew.
