One of the most likely Aston Villa players to be rescued by a Premier League club this summer, Jordan Ayew has apparently been the subject of 'secret talks' with Crystal Palace and also West Ham.

A story from GhanaSoccerNet has suggested that both clubs have had contact with Ayew's representatives over a potential move. The 24-year-old, whose brother Andre is also the subject of various rumours, scored seven Premier League goals in 2015/16.
