Andre Ayew 'ambitious' but happy at Swansea City for now

Andre Ayew says he is delighted about how his switch to Swansea City has worked out but has not ruled out moving on to a bigger club in the future.

Ayew, 25, has already scored six goals in 13 Premier League matches since joining Swansea from Marseille in the summer.

The Ghana international was out of contract at the French club but chose to move to Wales instead of a host of other options.

"Before signing for Swansea, there were offers from some big clubs," he told French radio station RMC.

"It was a decision that was really well thought out. I took my time, weighed up the pros and cons, my age, what I wanted to accomplish in football and how I should get there.

"With my family, I took the decision to go to Swansea to arrive somewhere where I had the 100 percent confidence of the manager and the president.

"I really wanted to take the time to adapt to this league in a good team. I didn't want to go to a team that didn't play -- that didn't try to be creative or to score goals.

"Swansea brought me everything that I wanted, whether on a sporting or a financial level, but I am ambitious so we'll see what happens in the future."

Ayew, the older brother of Aston Villa striker Jordan, signed a four-year contract with the Swans in the summer.

He is pleased with his own performances but feels that his team, currently lying 14th in the Premier League, have not got what they have deserved this season.

"I'm a happy man," he said. "It's going well. I like the city a lot, the supporters, the club. I'm very happy over there.

"In the last while we could have had better results but it's OK -- I'm very satisfied.

"At the moment, it's going rather well for me. I hope that it will continue and that we can get a few more wins because I think that we're not where we belong."
