How Jordan Ayew will add quality to Crystal Palace in attack

Ghanaian midfielder, Jordan Ayew has joined Crystal Palace on loan from Swansea for the 2018/2019 season. This is coming at a point Palace are on a rise as they hope to cement a regular place in the Premier League.

Crystal Palace were dubbed to be set for relegation early on in the beginning of last season only for Roy Hodgson to come help salvage the season and got vital points at top sides in the league. Given the addition of Ayew it is high time we started highlighting how serious Palace want to take the season.

Selhurst Park has welcomed top names to the club beyond many expectations. 26 year old Ayew made the move to stay in the Premier League and this is an opportunity for him to prove his worth in the top flight. His 12 goals in all competitions for Swansea made him their player of the season last season.

Adding him to the likes of Max Meyer who joined from Schalke, Palace have a set of players for the team that can push them fight for a top half finish this new season.

From the defence to the middle of the park to the attacking line, Palace are looking ready for the new season. Cristian Benteke is fit again and at his best the quality he brings is top notch. Keeping Wilfred Zaha was another decision that will help bring out the best in Ayew, as both will be flanking the wings for Palace.

This is a great opportunity for Hodgson to stake a claim among the elite managers after fluffing his chance while serving as England national team manager. He has helped reshaped public opinion that he can still take great decisions at top flight.

The management at Palace has a plan for bringing the likes of Ayew to complement the attacking football the team play and it’s simple, they also want to move out of regular relegation strugglers.

However, bettors are not sure how this transfer will improve the squad capabilities, and how odds will be affected by this move.

It is interesting to note that Palace are aiming high with a relatively decent squad with most in their mid-twenties with a manager that is 71, which will no doubt increase the rate at which fans bet on Palace with various English betting sites.

Palace are planning long term but to be able to to the long term plan, a short term ambition has to be achieved and the short term aspiration is stay safe in ten league. To do that, Ayew is just a player that can complement all they got to make it a reality.
