Garry Monk: 'Andre Ayew signing shows how much Swansea City have grown'

Swansea City boss Garry Monk believes that the signing of Andre Ayew shows how far the club have come "globally".

Swansea City manager Garry Monk believes that the arrival of new signing Andre Ayew proves how much the club is growing "globally".

The former Marseille forward signed a four-year deal on Wednesday after finalising a free transfer to the Premier League outfit.

"I'm extremely pleased we've been able to attract someone of Ayew's quality to this football club," Monk told the Swans' official website. "It highlights once again just how far this club has grown year on year, not just in Britain, but globally.

"I said when the season ended that I not only wanted to keep the quality we already had within the squad, but to add to it as well. We've certainly done that with Ayew's arrival.

"He will add quality, experience and versatility, which I like, to the squad. The fans should be really excited about seeing him play."

The 25-year-old scored 52 goals in 181 appearances for Marseille.
