Andre Ayew Appointed Swansea Deputy Captain

Andre Ayew’s leadership qualities have been recognized by Swansea coach, Steve Cooper who has officially made him the deputy captain of the team.

Cooper praised the impact Ayew has made since returning from African Cup of Nations duty late in the summer.

“Andre is a senior figure and a very positive influence around the group,” said Cooper to Swansea’s official website.

“We are very lucky, we have players like Wayne Routledge, Nathan Dyer and Kyle Naughton too.

“We know there is a bit of a status to being captain or vice-captain, but we do have senior figures in the squad.”

“Andre has got the attributes to lead, and he does it well through good and bad moments and long may that continue.”

“It’s good for Matt as well to have players like Andre, Wayne and Nathan around him.”

“Matt has thrived in the role, there is no doubt about it. But I know he is open-minded enough to seek advice and I know those boys will give it to him in a constructive and helpful manner.”

“Andre is a good role model and leader, I think there is a good culture here everyone helps each other but pushes each other. That’s a good thing.”

It’s obvious the son of the legendary Ghanaian footballer, Abedi Ayew Pele was born to lead, having been the captain of Ghana’s U-20 side before he was confirmed substantiative captain of the Black Stars earlier this year.
