Swanse City boss Steve Cooper backs Andre Ayew to hit double-figures before turn of year

Swansea City boss Steve Cooper is backing Andre Ayew to hit double figures before the turn of the year.

The 29-year-old has raked in seven goals with four matches to end the year after scoring in the 1-1 stalemate against Blackburn Rovers in the Championship on Wednesday.

And Swans manager Steve Cooper expects the Ghana captain to hit double figures before 2019.

“Andre has been brilliant in every way, shape or form,” Cooper said as reported by his club's official website .

“He has seven goals now, so he could easily get to double figures over the Christmas period.

“We know he has the ability, he can be as good as anyone in the league and he can play at a higher level.

“But the fact he is showing the commitment and work-rate he is, means it is rubbing off on everybody.

“It is certainly motivating me to see a player so committed to what we are doing."

Andre has scored five goals in the Championship and two in the League Cup.
