Ayew’s message to Brentford – “Finals are there to be won”

Andre Ayew has one thing on his mind and that is helping the Swans back into the Premier League.ย  He says it is what keeps him going and he firmly has his sights set on Brentford at Wembley on Saturday and the completion of that goal.

Ayew has of course played for the Swans in the Premier League after two moves to the club but now he hopes it will be his goals that help secure the club a return to the top flight after a three year absence.

The Ghanian captain is a play off scorer in both the last two campaigns and his delight at helping the side to the final was clear for all to see last night particularly his post match celebrations with the supporters that showed just what Swansea means to him.

But he firmly believes that the job is not yet complete and won’t be until the Swans are back in the top flight as he explained to the club’s official website as the build up to the big game continuedย โ€œItโ€™s very important to me to get this club back to the Premier League,

โ€œI wake up every morning with that thought โ€“ itโ€™s always on my mind โ€“ and itโ€™s what keeps me going.

โ€œFinals are not there to be played, they are there to be won.

โ€œThere is a big prize on offer. We are one game away, and we have to be ready on that day.

โ€œI just want to win and give this city something big and enjoy this summer.โ€

Saturday’s game saw more than 3,000 fans return to the Liberty after a 14 month absence due to the Covid pandemic and Ayew was equally as quick to pay tribute to those that managed to secure tickets and the support that they showed the team on the night.

He added: โ€œIt felt great. It was an unbelievable feeling to get this win in front of our fans.

โ€œI felt something special, even though it was only 3,000 fans, because it was booming.

โ€œI thank them for their support because we really needed it.

โ€œThey played their part and we did ours, and in the end we are all happy. Iโ€™m even happier that Iโ€™ll see them at Wembley.

โ€œNow we look forward to the final.โ€

Been watching the Swans since the very late 1970s and running the Planet Swans website (in all its current and previous guises since the summer of 2001 As it stood JackArmy.net was right at the forefront of some of the activity against Tony Petty back in 2001, breaking many of the stories of the day as fans stood against the actions where the local media failed. Was involved with the Swans Supporters Trust from 2005, for the large part as Chairman before standing down in the summer of 2020.
