Crystal Palace have announced the permanent transfer of Jordan Ayew from Swansea City.

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

Upon completing his transfer to Palace, Ayew revealed his excitement at being back in red and blue ahead of the 2019/20 season, which begins on August 10 with the Eagles’ Premier League opener with Everton.

"I am very happy [to have returned]. I really enjoyed myself last season.

"I enjoyed the stadium, the fans, the boys - they were really good to me - everything here was positive and that's why I decided to continue with Crystal Palace."
