Crystal Palace has confirmed the signing of Ghana international Jordan Ayew from Swansea City, marking a permanent return to Selhurst Park.
Ayew impressed during his loan stint at Palace last season, and the club has now secured his services on a permanent deal.
The 27-year-old forward, who previously played for Aston Villa, has signed a three-year contract with the Premier League side.
The signing fee is reportedly around £2.5m, with add-ons for Ayew.
Ayew expressed his happiness at completing the move, stating, "I am very happy. I really enjoyed myself last season." He added, "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."
Ayew's permanent switch comes after a strong showing for Ghana at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt, where they were eliminated in the Round of 16.
