AYEW SLAMS LORIENT
Jordan Ayew has accused Lorient of pricing him out of a move to Aston Villa, reports The Guardian.
The Ghana international is on the verge of completing his move to the Premier League club, with Sky sources confirming the striker had arrived in the UK to undergo a medical on Friday ahead of a proposed £12million transfer.
The 23-year-old has now laid into the Ligue 1 side, brandishing their conduct surrounding his transfer as ‘incomprehensible’.
“They said I could go for ?10m or ?12m, but now they want £10m with £2m in add-ons, which makes it about ?17m. It’s nonsense!” he told L’Equipe.
“It’s finished for me. They bought me for ?5m and they are blocking me now. I am in Birmingham, I am off to Aston Villa, and nothing will change my mind.
My whole family wants to go to England, it’s the right time.
“I am not going to training [with Lorient] again, that’s over for me. In my head, in any case, I have left.”
