Swansea goalkeeper Freddie Woodman has hailed Ghanaian international Andre Ayew following his heroics against Middlesbrough on Saturday.
The Ghanaian skipper netted two goals at Liberty Stadium as Swansea defeated Middlesbrough 2-1 to stay in contention for Premiership promotion.
Woodman maintains that Ayew is a classical who delivers both on and off the field and he remains everyone’s favourite.
“It’s not just about the penalties. The fans will see the goals that he scores, but he’s a leader behind the scenes and fantastic to have around the place,” Woodman told his club’s official website.
“I feel like I’ve learned so much off him; even just having a chat with him about different things. He gives great advice out and he gives you this confidence and belief when you do speak to him.
“The fans see the goals, but everyone at the club realise that he’s even better at getting the best out of the players around him – even the younger lads.”.
“Andre’s got ice in his veins, that’s the joke going around in the dressing room,” Woodman added.
Ayew has netted 13 goals and provided two assists in 32 Championship homes so far this season.
