Sunderland make Ayew approach

Sunderland have reportedly made a move for Ghana and Swansea City star Andre Ayew, according to Sky Sports.

The Black Cats are hoping to bolster their squad and have enquired about the availability of the 26-year-old.

The Ghana international has been a sensational in his debut season in the Premier League but his club is in a form turmoil following their recent struggles.

Fresh reports are emerging Sunderland are keen to take advantage of Swansea's managerial crisis to pounce on the former Marseille man.

However, the move for the Black Stars assistant captain appears very audacious with the Swans unlikely to sell their prize asset.

Swansea are flirting with relegation after their recent 4-2 defeat at home to Sunderland.
