Ghanian star wins EPL award

London - Andre Ayew has been named the Premier League Player of the Month for August after starring for his new club, Swansea City. 

Swansea's Ayew, who arrived on a free transfer, has made a fantastic start to life in England, scoring three goals and provided an assist in four games.

The 25-year-old Ayew thanked the whole team for the award.

"It's a great feeling, but this award comes from hard work and support by the whole squad," the former Marseille winger told the Swans' website (www.swanseacity.net).

"It's more of a collective award rather than an individual award because we've worked very hard from pre-season until now."

Watford host a rampant Ayew and Swansea City team-mates at Vicarage Road on Saturday. The match kicks off at 16:00.
