Ghana Captain Is Happy With His Journey At Swansea By Admin Andre Ayew's goal against Barnsley in the first leg of the Championship play-offs on Monday has taken him a step closer to writing his own piece of history by helping Swansea City back to the Premier League, BSNSports.com.ng reports. The Ghana captain has been a key player for the Welsh club, scoring 17 league goals and adding four assists to help secure the Swans that play-off spot. Ayew insists he is happy with his footballing journey so far that has seen him rise through the ranks at French club Marseille which led to his first successful move to Swansea. Since then he has had to endure struggles at West Ham and on loan at Turkish side Fenerbahce before finding his form once again on his return to Swansea. "Some people will say maybe my career has dwindled because I'm playing in the championship and let me say there were offers to go and play in the Premier and I could have jumped at the first offer that came in, but no," he told said. "Sometimes it's not every offer that comes that you have to take, you first look at your happiness and then consult your family and the team and see what is best before making a decision. "I really don't think I have lost anything, look at my numbers both here and at the national team, they are getting better and I'm happy for the journey I took." Even at the age of 31 Ayew admits he is still on a football learning curve. "I don't know how this season will end but my experience has guided a lot of these young players here, they have learnt a thing or two from me and off-course I have also picked up some things from them too," he explained. "I have played at the world cup and in the Champions league I think it's important that I share some of my experiences with the ones also starting their journey. "We have made the play-offs twice already and if we go up what would you say? And even if we don't go up, I will know that I gave it my all and just didn't make the jump when things got tough."
